Perfect for Sunday breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta (, smooth or regular)
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 1/2 tbsp castor sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs separated
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup blueberries (, plus extra for serving)
  • Greek yoghurt (, to serve)
  • Maple syrup (, to serve)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and egg yolks, whisking to combine. In a separate bowl, mix together the self-raising flour, castor sugar and salt. Once combined, add the dry mix to the wet. Stir gently.
  2. Add blueberries to the batter and stir through. Using a mixer, or by hand, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold gently through pancake batter, ensuring it remains as fluffy as possible.
  3. Preheat your pan over a medium-high heat. Spray lightly with oil. When oil has become transparent, scoop batter into pan using a 1/3 cup measure. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until small bubbles start to appear, and flip to the other side. Once second side is golden, place cooked pancake on a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter.
  4. To serve, stack up your pancakes, scoop a dollop of Greek yoghurt on top, followed by a sprinkle of fresh blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Frozen or canned blueberries would also work in this recipe. Strain away any extra liquids before adding the berries to the batter.
  • This recipe would also work well with any other berry, or even bananas or apples.
