Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Sweet Creme Fraiche image

This is one of my favorite recipes from a B&B (Fairholme Manor) my husband and I stayed in in Victoria, BC. I eat the pancakes with creme fraiche alone, but many enjoy it with the addition of maple syrup. Enjoy the creme fraiche as a substitute to whipped cream on just about anything.

Time P1DT6h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons buttermilk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 dash salt
1 ¾ cups ricotta cheese
5 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
½ cup white sugar
1 lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Mix heavy cream, buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons sugar together in a bowl. Let stand at room temperature until slightly thickened, 6 to 8 hours. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Whisk ricotta cheese, egg yolks, milk, sugar, and lemon zest together in a separate bowl. Whisk in flour mixture until batter is smooth.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold very gently into the batter.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Drop 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Beat sweetened creme fraiche until stiff peaks form. Serve with pancakes.

These pancakes were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I would use less flour next time.

I've never made pancakes with ricotta cheese before, but I'm definitely going to do it again. These were so light and fluffy, and the lemon flavor was perfect.

These pancakes were easy to make and turned out great! I didn't have any creme fraiche, so I used sour cream instead. It worked just fine.

These pancakes were a bit too lemony for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less lemon juice next time.
