ORANGE RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg, cheese, milk, orange zest, orange juice, melted butter and vanilla until blended. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until moistened., Lightly grease a griddle; heat over medium heat. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle. Cook until bubbles on top begin to pop and bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown. If desired, serve with syrup and confectioners' sugar.

RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH ORANGES & HONEY

Steps:

• Cut the skin and pith away from the oranges, then slice into rounds. Put the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle, then pour in the egg and a splash of milk. Using a wooden spoon, gradually draw the flour into the liquid until you have a lump-free batter. Mix in the rest of the milk, then beat in the ricotta.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan and add the oil. Swirl it around the pan then tip out any excess into a heatproof bowl. Spoon in 3 or 4 generous tbsps of batter, spaced well apart, to make pancakes about 10cm across. Cook on medium heat for 2 mins until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip over with a palette knife and cook for 2 more mins until golden. Set aside and keep warm; cook the rest.
• Stack the pancakes, pile the orange slices on top, drizzle with honey, then scatter with nuts and serve warm.

ORANGE RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the honey and orange juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and mix in the orange zest. Let to cool. The syrup will thicken as it cools.
• In a medium bowl, blend flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter over medium-low heat, until butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Mix the orange juice into the milk mixture and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they begin to bubble. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with 2 tablespoons sugar until light and creamy. Whisk in the orange zest and vanilla. Whisk in a quarter of the milk mixture, then whisk in the remaining milk mixture until smooth. Slowly add flour mixture, stirring only until dry ingredients are moist but still lumpy. Do not overmix. Using the rubber spatula, stir in the ricotta cheese. Finally, fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined. The batter will be lumpy.
• Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat until hot. Scoop ⅓ cup batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles appear on top. Carefully flip over and cook the other side until the bottoms are golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve warm with the honey orange syrup.

ORANGE RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mash the sugar and orange zest together with the back of a spoon in a small bowl or on a cutting board. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the sugar-and-zest mixture and whisk to combine. Combine the ricotta, sour cream, heavy cream, orange juice and egg yolks with a whisk in a medium bowl. Add the ricotta mixture to the flour mixture and combine with a rubber spatula until just smooth; don't overmix.
• Rub the 1/2 lemon over the inside of a chilled medium metal bowl, then wipe the bowl dry with a paper towel. Add the egg whites to the bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gently fold about 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter, then add the remaining egg whites. Don't worry if there are slight streaks of egg whites in the batter. Heat a nonstick or cast-iron griddle and grease with 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour or ladle about 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes and the edges come together, about 2 minutes. Slip a spatula under each pancake, flip gently and cook until the edges come together and the pancake has risen, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve immediately. You can also add a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar or a drizzle of orange blossom honey, if desired.
