Ricotta Pancakes
Makes approximately 12 four - inch pancakes
INGREDIENTS
2 cups ricotta cheese
4 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
METHOD
1
Preheat griddle or large fry pan on medium heat.
2
Fit food processor with the Processing Blade. Add ricotta, eggs,
butter and sugar to food processing bowl. Process for 1 minute.
3
Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Pulse several times; all you want
to do is to incorporate ingredients. Don’t over mix.
4
Dab griddle with butter or non-stick spray. Pour approximately 3
tablespoons of batter on griddle and spread it out to form pancake.
5
Cook for 2-3 minutes, lift pancakes to make sure they are brown
then flip. These pancakes do not emit little bubbles like traditional
pancakes so you need to check for color. These are so light and
delicious yet satisfying. Serve with fresh fruit and dust with
powdered sugar.
