Sweet ricotta pancakes with honey and figs recipe
olivemagazine

Ricotta pancakes are wonderful – fluffy and light with meltingly soft insides. Here they are served with honey and figs for a dessert, but they are also great for breakfast with fresh berries or butter and maple syrup.

Ingredients

250g tub ricotta
100ml milk
75g flour
½ tsp baking powder
2 egg yolks
1 tbsp caster sugar
a few drops vanilla extract
2 egg whites, whisked to stiff peaks
butter
4 ripe figs, sliced or quartered to serve
drizzled over honey, to serve

Method

1
Whizz the ricotta in a food processor with the milk, flour, baking powder, egg yolks, sugar and a few drops of vanilla extract to make a smooth batter.
2
Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Melt a little butter in a non-stick frying pan, drop in spoonfuls of batter and cook in batches, about 4 at a time, until golden. Turn and cook the other side. Serve with figs and honey.
