Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups ricotta
2 cups mixed fresh berries
1/3 cup plus 4 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chestnut flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1 1/2 cups whole milk
Melted unsalted butter for brushing
**Ingredient info:**Chestnut flour can be found at specialty foods stores.

Steps:

  • Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth; set over a small bowl. Add ricotta to strainer and let drain for 15 minutes; set aside.
  • Gently combine berries, 1/3 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Let macerate, tossing occasionally, until sugar dissolves and juices are released, about 15 minutes.
  • Whisk both flours, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until frothy. Gradually beat in 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until peaks form. Whisk the egg yolks, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and zest in another medium bowl to blend. Whisk in milk. Add the yolk mixture to dry ingredients; whisk just to blend. Add half of the egg white mixture; fold just to blend. Fold in ricotta, then remaining egg white mixture.
  • Heat a griddle or large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat; brush with melted butter. Using scant 1/2 cup batter for each pancake and working in batches, ladle batter onto griddle and cook until bottom is golden brown, edges are dry, and bubbles form on top of pancake, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until browned and just cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer pancakes to plates. Serve with berries and their juices.

These pancakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These pancakes were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, but I thought I'd give these pancakes a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The ricotta cheese added a lovely creaminess to the pancakes. I'll definitely be making these again.

These pancakes were a bit too lemony for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try using less lemon zest next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy these pancakes were to make. I didn't have any ricotta cheese on hand, so I used cottage cheese instead. They turned out just as delicious.

I've tried many ricotta pancakes recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The pancakes were fluffy, golden brown, and bursting with lemon flavor. My family loved them!

These pancakes were absolutely delightful! The ricotta cheese added a wonderfully creamy texture and the lemon zest gave them a bright, citrusy flavor. I would definitely make these again.
