Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fluffy Ricotta Pancakes.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your griddle to a cozy 325°F or warming a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, blend together ricotta cheese, skim milk, and egg yolks until the mixture is smooth and harmonious.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Gradually incorporate the ricotta mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to maintain a light texture.
Step 5
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy and airy.
Step 6
Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the ricotta batter, ensuring no white streaks remain for a fluffy finish.
Step 7
Lightly grease your preheated griddle with about a teaspoon of canola oil, then pour a quarter cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
Step 8
Allow the pancakes to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, watching for a golden brown hue on the bottom.
Step 9
Flip them over and let them cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until both sides are beautifully golden.
Step 10
Continue this delightful process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the griddle as needed to keep things sizzling.
Step 11
Enjoy the aroma of freshly cooked pancakes filling your kitchen as you savor each bite of this delicious creation.
