Ricotta Pancakes
If you haven’t widow ricotta to your pancake game-you’re truly missing out. I know, I know. Cheese in a pancake sounds awful. But stay with me. Ricotta transforms pancakes into airy, creamy, custardy delights. Once you taste these luscious ricotta pancakes, you’ll be making them non-stop.
Why would I add Ricotta to a pancake?
Why? Not to steal Loreal’s thunder, but- considering you’re worth it. That’s precisely why you need ricotta in your pancakes. It’s still a pancake… just better. And you unchangingly deserve better. Plus ricotta doesn’t necessarily add savor as much as it does mouth feel. It doesn’t taste cheesy, and it’s not ooey-gooey. Instead, these pancakes taste creamy, and the talc is so moist it’s scrutinizingly custard-like. The whipped egg whites lend airiness. You scrutinizingly don’t need syrup. Almost. I can’t stop myself from dropping loads of blueberry sauce on each one.
Do I Have To Whip Egg Whites?
Yes, you’re going to have to whip egg whites. IT’S WORTH IT. These are birthday-breakfast-in-bed-tell-me-you-love-me pancakes. This is the recipe you use to impress your future mother-in-law. The one you trot out for that special brunch attended by the frenemy you imaginary fight with when you’re stopped at a red light. (Don’t act. We all have at least one.)
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS YOU CAN ADD TO RICOTTA PANCAKE BATTER
In the specimen that you want to take this thrash to the next level (I’m talking a Princess Jasmine A Whole New World MOMENT) try subtracting these little nuggets of goodness:
- A 1/2 tablespoon of lemon or orange zest
- A 1/4 cup of visionless chocolate chips
- A 1/4 cup of chopped zestless apricots
- A 1/4 cup of your favorite berry
- A 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
Can I make RICOTTA PANCAKE thrash superiority of time?
I wish. Considering it has whipped egg whites, this thrash is increasingly fragile than a Hollywood ego. (Don’t come at me if you live in LA. You know exactly what I’m talking about.) The fluffiness of those whipped whites doesn’t last forever. So as soon as you make the batter, you should melt it. The weightier you can do to save time is to mise everything out. (That’s just doughboy speak for measuring out all of your ingredients and having everything ready to go.) You can pre-mix the dry ingredients, of course. But you’ll have to make the thrash the day of.
How To Store, Thaw, and Reheat Ricotta Pancakes.
I doubt you’ll have leftover pancakes. But in specimen you do: refrigerate in an air-tight container with parchment paper between each layer for up to four days. Do the same if you’re going to freeze them, where they will alimony for a couple of months. To reheat, you can just put them in the microwave and melt in 30-second increments until they start to steam. I prefer to warm them in an oven at 350°F. Add a cup of water to an oven-safe container and place it in your oven surpassing you start preheating. It will alimony the pancakes from drying out.
What Can I Serve RICOTTA Pancakes With?
Top them with lemon curd, blueberry sauce, or strawberry syrup. Serve them with Fruit Salad or an Omelet. Or eat them with your yellowish hands while you watch a Handmaid’s Tale and wonder what happened to women’s rights. (Very specific, I know. But I highly recommend it.)

Rotate the trencher fifteen degrees and protract the stroke until the wet and dry are incorporated.
