LEMON & RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE



Lemon & Ricotta Pancakes With Raspberry Sauce image

I've been having this love affair with Ricotta Cheese lately. After watching Bobby Flay make some yummy Blueberry & Ricotta Pancakes, I thought I'd incorporate it in my favorite pancake....that my husband and kid hate (they don't like the lemon).

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 12 panckaes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup frozen raspberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 lemon, zested
1 1/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces ricotta cheese, the freshest you can find
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons mint, freshly chopped

Steps:

  • To make the raspberry sauce, combine the Raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 TBS Lemon Juice in a sauce pan over medium heat. Cook until a sauce forms. I like mine chunky!
  • To make the pancakes, combine the flower, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add the milk, oil, egg, and lemon zest.
  • Heat a non-stick griddle with non-stick cooking spray over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of the batter onto the griddle. Add a few spoonfuls of the Ricotta cheese to the pancakes.
  • Cook until the pancake bubbles (about 2-3 minutes) and flip. Cook until golden brown (another 2-3 minutes). The recipe should make about 12 small pancakes.
  • Serve with the Raspberry Sauce and a sprinkle of fresh mint.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemons and raspberries will give your pancakes the best flavor. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning them.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often will make them dry. Flip them only once, when the edges are golden brown and bubbles have formed on the surface.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can keep them warm in a low oven until you are ready to serve them.

Conclusion:

Lemon raspberry ricotta pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They are perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With their bright citrus flavor and creamy ricotta filling, these pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
