PUMPKIN-RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH CHUNKY APPLE-RAISIN SAUCE
As a kid, every now and then my mom would make pancakes for dinner--we called it backwards day, and I loved the idea of it. I prefer pancakes that are moist and light and delicious. The trick is to use ricotta cheese and egg whites to lighten the batter--then you'll get nice fluffy pancakes every time. Serve these with a batch of apple compote with some golden raisin action and you'll be a winner every time.

Steps:
- For the compote: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the apples, cinnamon stick, star anise, and brown sugar. Cook until the apples are softened, about 4 minutes, then add the cider. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce to a simmer (BTB, RTS), then continue cooking until the liquid has reduced by half.
- Add the maple syrup and raisins. Simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and serve spooned over the pancakes, dusted with powdered sugar if desired. Try not to eat too many.
- For the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin, ricotta, milk, vanilla, and egg yolks. In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Make a hole in the center of the flour mixture and add the pumpkin mixture and mix gently to combine.
- In a medium bowl, combine the egg whites with a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks and look very fluffy, like snowdrifts.
- Using a rubber spatula, add a small scoop of the egg whites and mix it into the batter to lighten the mixture. Once combined, scoop a third of the egg whites into the pumpkin batter and fold to gently combine. Repeat this process two more times until all the whites have been added. Do this gently but quickly--the idea is to not squish the air out of the egg whites. This is the secret to keeping the pancakes fluffy!
- Place a griddle over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, drop a pat or two of butter onto the griddle. Once melted, schmear the butter around and wipe up any excess with a paper towel.
- Using a medium ice cream scoop or a small ladle, pour the batter onto the buttered griddle to create 3-inch pancakes. Let the pancakes cook until bubbles appear on the surface, burst, and then stay open--this will take about 5 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook the second side until golden brown. Place the cooked pancakes on a sheet tray and place in a warm oven. Re-butter the griddle and repeat until all the batter is gone or everyone is full. Hold the finished pancakes in the warm oven.
THE BEST RICOTTA PANCAKES
This is a well loved recipe! I have an old, small crumpled piece of paper with this recipe hand written out from some years ago, not sure where it came from! I have my own scribbles and scratches on it, so I must have changed it somewhere in time, but this is how I have been making it the last 10 years. It is our favorite pancake recipe. So light, a little tangy, and very satisfying. Perfect with some fresh blueberries or strawberries.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Whisk the milk, sugar, vanilla and eggs together in a large bowl until the sugar dissolves. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

Grate the apple on the large holes of a box grater and stir into the batter.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Drop 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the hot skillet. Cook until the surface of the batter forms bubbles and the edges are set, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and continue to cook until puffed in the center, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a baking sheet and put in the oven to keep warm while making the rest of the pancakes. Cook the remaining batter, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter as needed.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH SAUTEED APPLES
Categories Breakfast Brunch Sauté Ricotta Lemon Apple Gourmet Kidney Friendly Vegetarian Pescatarian Peanut Free Tree Nut Free Soy Free Kosher
Yield Makes about twelve 3- to 4-inch pancakes
Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Prepare the sautéed apples:
- In a large heavy skillet sauté the apples in the butter over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until they are softened, sprinkle them with the sugar and the cinnamon, and cook them over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are tender. Stir in the lemon juice and keep the mixture warm.
- Make the pancakes:
- In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks, the ricotta, the sugar, and the zest, add the flour, and stir the mixture until it is just combined. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold stiff peaks, whisk about one fourth of them into the ricotta mixture, and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Heat a griddle over moderately high heat until it is hot enough to make drops of water scatter over its surface and brush it with some of the melted butter. Working in batches, pour the batter onto the griddle by 1/4-cup measures and cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden, brushing the griddle with some of the melted butter as necessary. Transfer the pancakes as they are cooked to a heatproof platter and keep them warm in a preheated 200°F. oven.
- Serve the pancakes with the sautéed apples and the maple syrup.
Tips:
- Use fresh ricotta cheese. Fresh ricotta cheese is creamier and has a milder flavor than aged ricotta cheese, making it ideal for pancakes.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the pancakes immediately. Pancakes are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a warm oven or on a warming tray.
- Top the pancakes with your favorite toppings. Ricotta pancakes are delicious with a variety of toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Ricotta pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They are perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With their light and fluffy texture and sweet and tangy flavor, ricotta pancakes are sure to please everyone at the table.
