Ricotta Pancakes with Raspberries and Pomegranate Molasses
Prep 15 minutesCooking 10 minutes4-6 people
The combination of ricotta and egg whites produce pancakes that are both light and tender with a slightly savoury tang. The recipe might seem more complex than a regular pancake but its very straightforward, quick to whip up and can be paired with different combinations through the seasons.
Ingredients
400g Ricotta Di Bufala
225ml Whole milk
5 Medium eggs, carefully separated
150g Plain flour
1 ½ tsp Baking powder
1 Pinch salt
4 tsp Early Harvest Olive Oil or sunflower oil
200g Raspberries, cut in half if particularly large
50g Butter, melted
Instructions
- Empty the ricotta in a large and bowl and break down with a large spoon or whisk. Add the milk and egg yolks and stir so that they are all completely combined.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into another bowl.
- Place the egg whites in a large clean bowl and whisk till stiff peaks are formed.
- Fold the flour mixture through the ricotta mix in 3 stages till completely mixed though. Then fold through the egg whites, in 3 stages, trying to keep the mixture as light and fluffy as possible. This mix can be made a few hours in advance if kept in the fridge.
- Place a large, preferably non stick frying pan on a medium heat and when hot, add 1 tsp of Olive Oil and swirl around the pan. Add a small ladle’s worth of the mix to the pan and allow to start cooking, then repeat so that you have 3 pancakes. Don’t try to do too many at once, as the temperature of the pan will drop. Cook for around 2 minutes, or until golden, turning the heat down to low if it looks they are getting too dark, then turn over using a spatula and cook for another minute or until cooked through. Transfer to a warm plate or low oven to keep warm whilst you repeat with the remainin
