Equipment

  • 2 Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Frying Skillet
  • Saucepan

Ingredients
 

Pancakes:

  • 1 ½ cups (180g/6.3oz ) all-purpose flour, or gluten-free flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup (100g/3.5oz) ricotta cheese
  • ¼ cup lemon juice, or lime juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest, or lime zest

Berry Compote:

  • tbsp lemon juice, or lime juice
  • tsp cornstarch
  • 2 cups (200g/7oz ) berries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

Pancakes:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk 1 ½ cups (180g/6.3oz ) all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 2 tbsp sugar. Set aside.
  • In another medium bowl, whisk 3 eggs, ¾ cup milk, ½ cup (100g/3.5oz) ricotta cheese, ¼ cup lemon juice, and 1 tbsp lemon zest.
  • Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ones together until you don’t see more flour spots. Remember, pieces of pancake batter are totally fine, so be careful not to overmix.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, brush with oil or melt some butter and cook the lemon ricotta pancakes. Use 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, and you'll have about 12 pancakes.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes, until small bubbles begin to form on top and the edges set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the pancake is cooked through and golden on the bottom.
  • Serve immediately topping of your choice.

Berry Compote:

  • In a small bowl, combine 1½ tbsp lemon juice and 1½ tsp cornstarch.
  • In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups (200g/7oz ) berries, 2 tbsp sugar, and 2 tbsp water.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat to a slow simmer and add the lemon juice and cornstarch mixture. Cook for around 10 minutes, stirring until the compote thickens a little.
