This recipe is perfect for a special brunch or a cozy weekend breakfast, offering a delightful balance of flavors and textures that will make every bite a joy.

Ingredients:

4 cherry tomatoes
80g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
6 bacon strips
150g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1.50 cups milk (1% fat)
360g
1 egg
50g
1 cup ricotta cheese
230g
1 tbsp butter
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bacon:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Arrange the bacon strips on the baking sheet.
4. Brush the bacon strips with a little maple syrup if desired for extra glaze.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through until the bacon is crispy and nicely glazed. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
2. Roast the Cherry Tomatoes:
1. While the bacon is cooking, preheat a small skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray oil.
2. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in the skillet.
3. Sauté the tomatoes for about 5-7 minutes until they soften and start to caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Ricotta Hotcakes Batter:
1. In a large bowl, sift 1 cup of self-raising flour.
2. In another bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of milk, 1 egg, and 1 cup ricotta cheese until smooth.
3. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry flour, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as overmixing can result in tough hotcakes.
4. Cook the Ricotta Hotcakes:
1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter (approximately 1 tbsp).
2. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each hotcake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
3. Flip the hotcake and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
5. Assemble and Serve:
1. Serve the ricotta hotcakes hot, garnished with the sautéed cherry tomatoes and maple glazed bacon strips on the side.
2. Optionally, drizzle with a little more maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Tips:

- Make sure your griddle or pan is preheated before cooking the hotcakes to achieve a lovely golden-brown color.

- Use fresh, high-quality ricotta for the best texture and flavor in your hotcakes.

- Do not overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Overmixing can result in tough hotcakes.

- For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle a bit of maple syrup over the hotcakes before serving.

- Cook the bacon over medium heat to ensure it becomes crispy without burning.

Enjoy these delightful ricotta hotcakes paired with maple-glazed bacon for a breakfast that’s both comforting and indulgent. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a simple weekend treat, this dish is bound to impress and satisfy.
