Yield Makes 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 extra-large eggs, separated
1 1/3 cups ricotta cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Melted butter for the griddle and for brushing on the pancakes

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the egg yolks, ricotta cheese, sugar, and orange zest in a medium bowl. Using a whisk or a mixer set on medium speed, beat for 2 minutes, or until creamy.
  • 2. Sift the flour over the egg mixture. Using a large spoon or spatula, fold the flour into the egg mixture, being careful not to overmix or your pancakes will be tough.
  • 3. In a bowl with the mixer set on high speed, beat the egg whites with the pinch of salt for about 1 minute, or until they hold stiff peaks. Whisk about one fourth of the egg whites into the ricotta mixture; then fold the remaining whites in gently but thoroughly.
  • 4. Preheat a stove-top griddle or a skillet over medium heat, or an electric griddle to 400°F, testing to make sure it's hot enough for a drop of water to bounce on it.
  • 5. Lightly butter the griddle. Using a ladle, form pancakes on the griddle, using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook the pancakes until a few bubbles form on the surface of each one.
  • 6. Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook until golden brown on the other side. Brush the finished pancakes with a little melted butter before serving.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pancakes didn't rise very much. They were still tasty, but they were a little denser than I would have liked.

I made these pancakes for Mother's Day breakfast, and they were a huge success! My mom loved them, and I was so happy that I could make her something special.

These pancakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pancakes turned out a little dry. I think I might have overmixed the batter. Next time, I'll be sure to mix it just until the ingredients are combined.

OMG! These pancakes were amazing! I'm not usually a big pancake person, but these were so light and fluffy, and the orange ricotta filling was just perfect. I'll definitely be making these again.

These orange ricotta pancakes were a delightful treat! The ricotta cheese added a wonderful richness and tanginess, while the orange zest brought a bright, citrusy flavor. The pancakes were light and fluffy, and they held their shape well when flippe
