Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch fine sea salt
1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
3/4 cup whole milk
3 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
Butter or nonstick cooking spray, for cooking
Fig and Pistachio Compote, recipe follows
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
12 ounces fresh figs, quartered
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup clover honey
1/4 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup lightly toasted pistachios, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook's Note: If you can't find fresh ricotta cheese, use the carton variety and strain through a fine mesh strainer for 1 hour before using.
  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Combine the ricotta, milk, egg yolks, vanilla and zest in a separate bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Beat the egg whites in an electric mixer until stiff. Add the dry ingredients to the ricotta and milk, stirring gently until just combined. Whisk in a small amount of the egg whites to lighten the batter, then fold in the remaining whites.
  • Heat a cast-iron griddle or large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat and brush the surface with butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon a scant 1/3 cup of the batter onto the pan and cook the pancakes for 3 or 4 minutes. Flip, cooking until both sides are golden brown. Stack the pancakes and serve topped with the Fig and Pistachio Compote. Dust with confectioners' sugar and garnish with mint sprigs.
  • Add the figs, butter, honey, brown sugar, pistachios, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a cast-iron skillet set over high heat. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the syrup begins to bubble and the figs just soften. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly.;

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pancakes turned out flat and dense.

The pancakes were a bit dry, but the compote helped to moisten them up.

I had a hard time finding fresh figs, so I used dried figs instead. They worked just fine.
