Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the diced apples.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon over the apples.
- Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized. If the apples begin to stick, you can add a splash of water to the pan.
- Once the apples are soft and cooked through, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.
- Make a well in the center of the flour and sugar mixture.
- Gradually pour the milk and egg mixture into the well, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Drop tablespoons of batter onto the pan to form small circles (about 2-3 inches in diameter).
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are set, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
- Spoon the apple compote over the pikelets.
- Dollop the ricotta cheese on top of the apple compote.
- Optionally, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use cold butter cut into small pieces for the pikelets batter to make it easier to incorporate.
- For an extra fluffy texture, make sure not to overmix the batter. Combine the ingredients just until they are incorporated.
- When cooking the pikelets, wait until you see bubbles forming on the surface before flipping them to ensure they're perfectly cooked through.
- For the apple compote, you can adjust the level of sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on your preference.
- If you prefer a smoother compote, you can blend the apple mixture briefly with an immersion blender.
