Ingredients

Units Scale

Pancake Batter:

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs (separated)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Serving:

  • butter or oil (for cooking)
  • maple syrup
  • powdered sugar
  • fresh fruit

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined.
  3. In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in two additions, being careful not to deflate them.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  5. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Serve warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • For a lemony twist, add 1 teaspoon lemon zest to the batter.
  • These pancakes freeze well—just reheat in a toaster or skillet.
