Ricotta Pancakes
Ingredients
250g tub ricotta (I used low fat)
1/2 cup milk (I used skim)
3 eggs, separated
3/4 cup plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
oil for cooking
Method
Combine ricotta, milk, vanilla and egg yolks, whisk well to combine. Stir in sifted four and baking powder and mix well.
Beat egg whites with an electric beater until soft peaks form. Use a metal spoon to stir one spoonful of egg white into ricotta mixture to lighten the mixture, then gently fold in remaining egg white.
Heat some oil in a pan over low to medium heat. Place 1/3 cup (use a measuring cup) of mixture into the frypan. Cook 2-3 at a time depending on the size of your pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden, then turn and cook for a further 2 minutes until the other side is golden and the pancake is cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve ricotta pancakes with fruit and yoghurt and honey or maple syrup and ice cream or sugar and lemon or basically any other way you like.
Serves 2 - 4
Had these for dinner tonight. Very nice. Was concerned the mixture was too thick to make fluffy pancakes, but they turned out brilliantly. A+++. Would make again.
