Hrm, I don’t know if u’ve noticed that I’ve stopped.. I mean, I dont cook much dinner ? Well, cause, I’ve changed my work shift and I do closing now, so, I just eat yoghurt and wraps for dinner. Haha.
So, more breakie / lunch food!

Anyway, I tried to make Bill Granger’s famous Ricotta Hotcakes this morning since it’s been some time since I had pancakes. Well, I don’t need a reason to have pancakes, do I
Recipe
1 1/3 cups ricotta
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs, seperated
1 cup flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
Mix ricotta, milk and egg yolks in a bowl till well combined. Add in sifted flour and baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites till stiff peak. Then gradually fold in to the ricotta-milk mix.
Heat the pan with some butter. Add a dollop of the mixture and flatten it or rather spread it so it’s round in shape. Oh well, you can do whatever shape you want. The mixture stays cause there’s whisked egg white. Lightly fry till golden brown, then flip over the other side. Serve with honey when cooked, and maybe some fruits of your liking. Serves 6-8
Mixture can be kept in refrigerator for 24 hours.

It’s definitely better that ordinary pancakes. It’s probably because of the aeration from the egg whites that made it fluffy and thick. Recommended and will make it very often





Mmmmm…. i love ricotta and would definitely try out this recipe someday. Thanks for posting it! I really adore your blog. It’s a dream of mine to go to Le Cordon Bleu (or some culinary school) to learn patisserie too and your site is an inspiration. Very informative too!
keep up the good work girl…

Great styling Swee. I love these pancakes, and you’re right, they are much more fluffy than normal pancakes and they are also surprisingly light. When I made some, you wouldn’t beleive how much I ate!
