Ricotta Pancakes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of flour, 3 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
- In another bowl, mix 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1 1/4 cups of milk, 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar.
Ricotta pancakes have a rich history dating back to ancient Rome, where they were a popular dish made with ricotta cheese, a staple in Italian cuisine. The modern version of ricotta pancakes has evolved into a fluffy, creamy, and indulgent breakfast treat. Chefs like Giada De Laurentiis and Mario Batali have popularized this dish in their restaurants, bringing it to the forefront of the culinary world. Today, the best version of this dish can be found in Italian-inspired cafes and brunch spots, where the key to perfection lies in the quality of the ricotta and the delicate balance of flavors. For a twist, some chefs add lemon zest or serve them with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries. Whether enjoyed in a bustling city or a quaint countryside, ricotta pancakes are a delightful way to start the day.
