Orange-Ricotta Pancakes hot off the griddle. Happy National #Breakfast Month!
(at Viking Training Center)
We’re always on the lookout for new ways to make the most of our griddles, from toasting up perfect garlic toast, to making fajitas, to the ultimate griddle favorite…pancakes.
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 15-ounce container ricotta cheese
2/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
Confectioners’ sugar, for serving
Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside. Whisk ricotta, milk, orange zest and juice, brown sugar, vanilla and almond extracts and egg yolks together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer to soft peaks. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet and then gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
Heat griddle over medium heat. Drizzle with the oil, wiping away excess with a paper towel. Drop batter onto hot griddle 1/4 cup at a time. When bubbles appear on the top of the pancakes, turn them over and brown on the other side. Cook until done in the center, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately, with the butter and a sprinkling of the confectioners’ sugar.
Makes about 2 dozen 3-inch pancakes.
