Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Non-stick pan
  • Ice cream scoop
  • spatula

Ingredients
  

Wet ingredients

  • ¾ cup ricotta cheese full fat
  • 3 large eggs (55g/2oz each)
  • 3 tablespoon caster sugar superfine sugar
  • ¾ cup milk full fat best but low fat fine
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or other clear or clear-ish vinegar

Dry ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups plain/all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda (bi-carb) or ¾ teaspoon extra baking powder
  • a pinch salt

Serving/cooking

  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 8 oz strawberries halved or quartered
  • 1 tablespoon caster/superfine sugar
  • Maple syrup for dousing

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Whisk wet – Place the Wet ingredients in a bowl and whisk vigorously to combine. You should have little ricotta curd bits in it, but you don't want giant ricotta clumps.
  • Add dry – Scatter the Dry ingredients across the surface then whisk until combined. The batter is a little thicker than standard pancake batter.
  • Lightly butter pan – Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat until hot. Brush lightly with melted butter.
  • Batter – Pour in ¼ cup batter – it should just about spread evenly into a round but may need a bit of coaxing.
  • Cook 3 minutes – Cook the first side for 1 ½ minutes or until golden brown. Flip then cook the other side for 1 ½ minutes or until golden. Remove onto a plate.
  • Cook remaining – If your non-stick coating is good, you won't need more butter though a very light brush of melted butter every 2nd or 3rd pancake won't hurt. Continue cooking.
  • Serve ricotta pancakes with macerated strawberries, softened butter and copious amounts of maple syrup!

Macerated strawberries (optional)

  • Toss together strawberries and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow them to sweat and soften slightly.

Notes

Do not use whipped or creamed ricotta; standard ricotta is preferred.
