Description
Delightful pancakes combining tart cranberries, bright orange zest, and creamy ricotta cheese for a fluffy, satisfying breakfast treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries (chopped or whole)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix the wet ingredients in a large bowl: ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, sugar, and orange zest until well combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients in another bowl: flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Bring it together by gradually adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Fold in the cranberries carefully.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and grease it with butter or oil.
- Cook the pancakes by pouring about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra cranberries.
Notes
Letting the batter rest for a few minutes can help achieve even fluffier pancakes.
