Ricotta Pancakes

Ingredients

• 250 gms Ricotta cheese (1 cup)
• 125 ml Milk ( 1/2 cup)
• 2 large Eggs (separated )
• 100 gms Plain flour ( 2/3 cup)
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 2 tsp Oil
• 250 gms Chopped strawberries (or other berries of your choice )
• Salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Put the ricotta, milk and egg yolks into a bowl and mix well to combine. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt and gently whisk to make a smooth batter. Beat the egg whites until they become foamy - this isn't hard work even, whisking by hand, which is all that's needed here - and then fold them into the ricotta mixture.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in a large frying pan and drop in heaped dessertspoons of batter.

3. 3

   Cook the pancakes for about 1 minute until golden and then flip them over and cook for another minute.

4. 4

   Keep the cooked pancakes warm, by tenting with foil on a large warmed plate, while you work your way through the batter, and then serve with syrup and strawberries.
