who doesn't love pancakes? gimme a short stack and a side of bacon after a night of heavy vino and all is cured. As one of the most loved breakfast foods in my home, I felt it only appropriate to share hubs and my favorite pancake recipe (and our traditional Christmas morning dish). Since (surprisingly) Hubs is the breakfast Guru around here, this leads me to believe that not only are these pancakes so moist and tasty, but they must also be incredibly easy to make (if he can do it - you all can too). We use strawberries, whipped cream and maple syrup to dress up these babies, but feel free to use whatever pancake additions you love best.
Ingredients:
5 eggs, separated (yolks and whites)
Zest of large lemon
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1 cup all purpose flour, sifted
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
Dash of salt
Preheat griddle or skillet on medium heat.
Mix the egg yolks and then combine with lemon zest, buttermilk and ricotta cheese. Sift and mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and then combine with egg yolks mixture.
Beat the egg whites until stiff. Gently fold into the egg-ricotta batter.
Lightly oil griddle and pour a pancake-sized amount onto griddle. Cook until bubbles form. Flip and cook other side until golden. Do not flatten after flipping and only flip once.
Serve immediately with garnish of choice & Enjoy!
