Yield Makes about 16

Number Of Ingredients 18

Sauce:
1/2 cup (or more) water, divided
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups halved pitted fresh Bing cherries or other dark sweet cherries (about 14 ounces unpitted cherries)
2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Pancakes:
3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups whole-milk ricotta cheese
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup whole milk
3 large egg whites
Vegetable oil (for brushing)
Plain Greek-style yogurt or plain regular yogurt (optional)

Steps:

  • For sauce:
  • Whisk 1/4 cup water and cornstarch in small bowl. Melt butter in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add cherries, 1/4 cup water, and brown sugar; stir until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high; add cornstarch mixture and stir until mixture boils and thickens, adding water by tablespoonfuls if sauce is very thick, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice.
  • For pancakes:
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in small bowl. Using electric mixer, beat ricotta cheese and egg yolks in large bowl at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Reduce mixer speed to low; add flour mixture alternately with milk in 2 additions each, beating just until blended and scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
  • Using electric mixer fitted with clean beaters, beat egg whites in medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold 1/4 of whites into ricotta mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whites in 3 more additions.
  • Heat griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat; brush griddle lightly with oil. Drop batter by generous 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle; spread each pancake with offset spatula to form 3 1/2-inch round. Cook until bubbles form on tops of pancakes and bottoms are golden, about 3 minutes. Turn pancakes over and cook until golden brown on bottoms, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer pancakes to plates. Top with cherry sauce and yogurt, if desired, and serve.

Overall, I thought these pancakes were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

The cherry sauce was too sweet for my taste. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I had a hard time getting the pancakes to cook evenly. Some of them were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. I think I would try cooking them on a lower heat next time.

These pancakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter next time. The cherry sauce was good, but I would have liked it to be a bit thicker.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pancakes turned out perfectly. They were light and fluffy, with a slight tang from the ricotta cheese. The cherry sauce was also delicious and complemented the pancakes perfectly.

These ricotta pancakes were an absolute delight! The texture was fluffy and tender, and the ricotta added a subtle sweetness that balanced perfectly with the tangy cherry sauce. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
