Ricotta and berry pancakes

Indulge in a delightful breakfast with our Ricotta and Berry Pancakes. This recipe combines the creamy richness of ricotta cheese with the sweet and tangy flavors of strawberries and blueberries. It's perfect for a special weekend brunch or a weekday treat that feels indulgent yet nutritious.

Ingredients:

1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 tbsp honey
10g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
3 egg whites
100g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1 cup ricotta cheese
230g
2 cups strawberries
320g
1 cup blueberries
150g
2 tbsp maple syrup
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dry Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift 1 cup of self-raising flour.
2. Prepare the Wet Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 3 egg whites until slightly frothy.
- Add 3/4 cup of milk to the wet mixture and mix well.
3. Combine Mixtures:
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps in the batter.
4. Add Ricotta Cheese:
- Gently fold in 1 cup of ricotta cheese into the batter until well combined.
5. Preheat the Pan:
- Spray a non-stick frying pan or griddle with a short spray of cooking spray oil and heat over medium heat.
6. Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the preheated pan to form each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat the process until all the batter is used.
7. Prepare the Berries:
- While the pancakes are cooking, hull and slice 2 cups of strawberries.

8. Serve:
- Stack the pancakes on a plate, and top with a generous portion of sliced strawberries and 1 cup of blueberries.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the pancakes and berries.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve the Ricotta and Berry Pancakes warm. Enjoy them as a delightful breakfast or brunch treat!

Tips:

- For a fluffier texture, gently fold the egg whites into the batter without overmixing.

- Make sure your griddle or frying pan is properly heated before cooking the pancakes to achieve a golden-brown finish.

- If you prefer a sweeter batter, you can add a little more honey or a sprinkle of sugar to taste.

- Top the pancakes with additional berries and a dollop of ricotta for an extra touch of indulgence.

- These pancakes can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Simply reheat them in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.

These Ricotta and Berry Pancakes are not only delectable but also packed with protein and fruit, making them a wholesome breakfast option. Enjoy them fresh off the griddle, drizzled with maple syrup, for a meal that will leave you satisfied and ready to start your day.
