Instructions

  • Whisk wet ingredients in a bowl and combine until little ricotta curds remain.
  • Scatter dry ingredients across the surface and whisk until combined, batter should be thicker than standard pancake batter.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, brush lightly with melted butter.
  • Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan, adjust to spread evenly.
  • Cook the first side for 1 ½ minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 1 ½ minutes.
  • Repeat the cooking process for remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes stacked warm.
  • Serve pancakes with strawberries, softened butter, and generous maple syrup.

Notes

Ricotta pancakes are best served warm and can be topped with macerated strawberries for added flavor. Leftovers keep well in the fridge or freezer.
