RICOTTA PANCAKES

RICOTTA PANCAKES

If you are craving for pancakes, these tender and fluffy ricotta pancakes or hotcakes are a must, the ricotta cheese make these pancakes so delicious and perfect for an especial brunch.

As you can see on my recipe list I do love ricotta cheese and American brunch food as pancakes or waffles, and I can tell you that you will love these pancakes as much as I do when you taste them.

Is there any difference between this recipe and the classic American pancakes recipe?

Yes, this recipe is more fluffy and tender. To prepare the pancakes we must beat the egg whites to form peaks and incorporate the rest of the ingredients.  The egg whites beaten, and the ricotta cheese texture gives these hotcakes or pancakes the fluffiest texture ever.

Where could I find ricotta cheese?

If you haven’t taste the ricotta cheese before, is a fresh Italian cheese, mild and creamy. perfect to prepare desserts. 

Nowadays you can find it on many supermarkets on the refrigerator cheese section, close to fresh cheeses. 

Any tips we must know before preparing these ricotta pancakes?

These pancakes are easy and fast to prepare, you just have to be careful because they are really soft after beaten the white eggs forming peaks, so you must be careful flipping the pancakes. A small pan could help you. 

Also, a good quality nonstick pan will be really good. 

To preserve these ricotta hotcakes, it is true that you can freeze them if you have any hotcakes left, but  I recommend you to eat them freshly made to preserve the perfect  flavor and texture.
