Ricotta Hot Cakes |
|
Ingredients
6 - large eggs - separated
1.5 cups - Whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 stick - Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 tsp - Pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup - All-purpose flour
1/4 cup - Sugar
1/2 tsp - Salt
2 T - Grated lemon zest
Powered sugar, for dusting
Optional: Blackberries as a garnish
1 - Egg, large |
Instructions
Heat a griddle.
Whip egg whites until they hold firm, glossy peaks, and set aside.
Beat ricotta cheese, butter, egg yolks and vanilla together, and set aside.
Whisk together flour, sugar, salt and zest. With a rubber spatula, stir dry
ingredients gently into the ricotta mixture. Stir a spoonful of whipped egg
whites into the batter then gently fold in the remainder.
Grease the heated griddle, if necessary. Drop 3 T. of batter for each
pancake on the griddle, allowing space for spreading. Cook until golden on
the bottom and the top shows a bubble or two. Gently flip, and cook until
undersides are light brown. Dust with powdered sugar. Top with berries, if
desired. |
