6 4 inch hotcakes
- Serves:
- 4-6
ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1⁄2 cup ricotta cheese
- 3⁄4 cup milk
- 1 egg, separated
- 1 lemon, zest of, grated
- 3⁄4 cup thinly sliced fresh strawberries
directions
- In a large mixing bow, sift together the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl combine the melted butter, ricotta cheese, milk, egg yolk, and lemon zest. Mix well. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the milk mixture, stirring until the dry ingredients are just moistened. In a small, dry clean bowl beat the egg white until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg white into the batter. Add the berries, being, being careful not to overmix. Cook according to the hotcake technique below.
- Hotcake Technique: Grease a seasoned pancake griddle, if necessary, and place over moderate heat. The griddle is hot enough when a few drops of water dance on the surface. Using a scant 1/4 cup of batter for each hotcake (unless otherwise instructed), pour the batter onto the hot griddle.
- Cook the hotcakes on the first side until they are puffed and full of bubbles, looking dry at the edges, then turn and cook for one minute or until cooked through.
- Serving Suggestion: Dust with powdered sugar, garnish with sliced strawberries, and serve with Pistachio Praline Butter.

Absolutely wonderful breakfast!!! I made these as written, except I only put 1 TBSP sugar into the batter and the other one with sliced fresh strawberries and didn't add any strawberries to the batter, just topped the cakes with the sweetened berries. My only tip would be that you may want to lower the temp on the stove (compared to cooking normal pancakes), as these seem to burn quicker with the ricotta cheese. Soo good!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for 123 Tag Game. -
I'm always on the lookout for new ways to do both pancakes & waffles, though not because I'm dissatisfied with what I've had before, but because there's so little time, & I want to try them all! These particular pancakes are JUST GREAT ~ Loved the use of the ricotta cheese here & also made up a pistachio butter just for these! We had AN EXTREMELY SATISFYING BREAKFAST, thanks to you & your recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hit Wonders tag] -
The only thing I omitted was the salt. These pancakes are yummy. I used also fresh strawberries. Thanks marra. Made for 123 hit wonders. -
This recipe made for a beautiful brunch. We did substitute 1/4 of the milk with buttermilk, but made to specs otherwise. These pancakes have a nice light and airy texture, and are very creamy and flavorful. Using fresh strawberries truly make a difference. Thank you Marra, for sharing another wonderful recipe.

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
