Ricotta pancakes with maple-glazed apples are a delicious and indulgent twist on traditional pancakes. These fluffy pancakes are made with ricotta cheese, which adds a light and creamy texture, and are topped with sweet and slightly tart maple-glazed apples. Perfect for a special breakfast or brunch, this recipe combines rich flavors with a delightful texture.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the buttermilk and milk to the beaten eggs and whisk until well combined.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Fold in the ricotta cheese gently, taking care not to over-mix the batter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F/90°C) if needed.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted and slightly bubbling, add the peeled, cored, and sliced apples.
- Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, for around 5 minutes or until they start to soften and caramelize.
- Add the chopped walnuts to the pan and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the apples are tender and well-coated with the buttery glaze.
- Stack the ricotta pancakes on serving plates.
- Spoon the maple-glazed apples and walnuts generously over the pancake stacks.
- Optionally, drizzle with additional maple syrup or add a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh ricotta cheese for the best texture and flavor in your pancakes.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, you can add a drizzle of maple syrup over the pancakes before serving.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, lightly toast the walnuts before adding them to the apples.
- Ensure the pancakes are not too thick or too thin – the batter should be pourable but not runny.
- Consider using a non-stick skillet to easily cook the pancakes and achieve a golden-brown finish on both sides.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of apples for varying levels of sweetness and tartness.
With their creamy texture and the delightful topping of maple-glazed apples and walnuts, these ricotta pancakes are sure to become a breakfast favorite. Easy to prepare and rich in flavor, this recipe is perfect for impressing guests or simply treating yourself to a deliciously special morning meal. Enjoy your ricotta pancakes with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
