Pancake recipe! How to make Fluffy Ricotta Hotcakes _ Cupcake Jemma

Hello .

Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I actually cannot function without breakfast .

And normally I just grab a piece of toast or a bowl of cereal or something .

But if I don't have anything to do that day , I like to take things a little bit more easy and have a bit more of an indulgent breakfast .

And these ricotta hot cakes are my go to recipe , and I'm gonna show you how I do it .

The first thing I'm gonna do is mix my dry ingredients together .

So I have 100 and 45 grammes of plain flour here .

I'm just gonna pop that through a sip , and I'm gonna follow that with a tablespoon of castor sugar and half a teaspoon of baking powder and then a good pinch of salt .

I'm gonna shuffle that through the sieve and just put it to one side , and now it's time for the ricotta .

Now ricotta is a soft , creamy cheese from Italy , and it's really good in savoury food .

But it's perfect for sweet things because it doesn't have any salt in it , and it's got a slightly sweet , creamy flavour .

So I have , um , 240 grammes of ricotta here .

I'm just gonna put that into a bowl , and I'm gonna follow that with two large free range eggs .

And then I need 100 and 75 millilitres of whole milk and lastly , half a teaspoon of vanilla extract and that just needs to be whisked together until it's all really smooth and well combined .

And then I'm just gonna add the dry mix to the wet mix and give that a good stir .

So I'm just gonna put that to one side .

And now I'm going to get whisking some egg whites .

I have two large free range egg whites in this bowl , and I'm gonna whip them to a stiff peak consistency using my hand blender that's looking really stiff .

So this is gonna add some much needed fluffiness and air to these delicious pancakes .

But first , what I need to do to loosen up the batter is to spoon a spoonful into the main batter and just fold it through gently just to loosen it up .

And then I just need to put the rest of my egg whites in and fold it through carefully .

I don't wanna knock any of that air out .

So now that that's all mixed in , I have a really fluffy , airy batter , and now it is time to get cooking .

So I have a nice , decent size frying pan here , and I'm just gonna put that on to a medium to high heat and then put some butter on it .

So once your butter's completely coated the frying pan and it's sizzling away , then you need to doll up some of your lovely batter into your pan .

So I'm just gonna use the same spoon , and I can probably fit three on this pan .

You'll know when these need to be flipped when air bubbles start coming through the surface .

So once you flip them over , you just need to cook them for one or two minutes on the other side and then keep on going till you've used all your butter up .

Yeah , there they are , fluffy , lovely ricotta hotcakes , and I like to serve these with some whipped maple butter .
