If we go tenting collectively, you’re going to get pancakes. The larger query is what sort? I’ve been on a ricotta pancake kick currently, and determined to pack the whole lot wanted to make these Lemon Ricotta Pancakes on our highway journey down the California coast final week. I are likely to undergo completely different pancake, waffle, crepe phases, however for the second I’m all in right here. These pancakes are tender, lemon-flecked, golden-edged beauties. The ricotta batter is bolstered with a little bit of almond flour and enriched with olive oil. They’re pancakes so scrumptious and pillowy tender it’s simple for 2 folks to crush the entire stack.
There are a pair issues that may make these pancakes even higher – toppings and setting. If you happen to can take pleasure in them outdoors, maybe at a picnic desk – go for it. I like an outside breakfast and was joyful to take pleasure in a string of them final week. We beach-camped in Pismo, then Santa Barbara (lastly visited Lotusland!), after which a pair nights in Malibu – out of doors meals on a regular basis. I am going to put up a couple of pics beneath 🙂
Lemon Ricotta Pancake Toppings
I’ve a couple of steered toppings right here. I usually prefer to make a break with maple syrup for these pancakes. Don’t get me flawed, maple syrup is sweet right here, I simply actually like a ricotta-honey combo. These pancakes are extremely good generously drizzled with saffron honey. I infuse a couple of threads of saffron in 1 teaspoon of almond extract, after which stir that into 1/3 cup of honey. I additionally introduced a powerful pink cinnamon honey alongside on the journey made by whisking floor Vietnamese cinnamon, cayenne powder, pitaya powder, vanilla extract and some different elements to style in some native honey.
Degree-up Your Butter
Alternately, you possibly can mess around with compound butters. At any time when we go on a road-trip or tenting I are likely to deliver stacks of frozen issues. Skinny stacks. Sauces, pestos, curry pastes and the like, frozen flat in baggies. I at all times deliver a compound butter or two. Normally one candy, for pancakes, biscuits, oatmeal, and so on. And one savory – to toss with noodles, and veggies, fast pasta dishes, and that form of factor. I like a salted butter mashed up with numerous lemon zest and brown sugar with the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Or butter mashed up with a splash of honey and a few crushed freeze-dried berries.
What if I don’t have Ricotta?
That’s okay! Do you have got cottage cheese? You may swap that in for the ricotta. I believe you can even swap in full-fat Greek yogurt, however I haven’t examined that model but.
