Start the day with these delicious, easy to make ricotta pancakes. They're like a bit of cheesecake in a pancake and they just happen to be egg-free too.

Seeing as it’s pancake day next week I thought it would be very remiss of me not to share a pancake recipe. The question was what? I exhausted my selection of “regular” pancakes last year when I shared my Pancake Day Pancakes (the thin ones you smother in lemon juice and sugar) and American-style pancakes, as well as messing around with some farmyard animals and a pancakey Mickey Mouse.

Start the day with these delicious, easy to make ricotta pancakes. They're like a bit of cheesecake in a pancake and they just happen to be egg-free too.

This year I decided to make something a little different and settled on these yummy ricotta pancakes. They’re really delicious, with a hint of cheesecake about them, and they just happen to be egg-free so perfect for anyone avoiding egg to still join in next Tuesday (although these aren’t just for pancake day, they’re good all year round 🙂 ).

INGREDIENTS

  • 250 g ricotta
  • 65 g plain flour
  • 35 g caster sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Put all of the ingredients into a large bowl and mix together until fully combined.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 and roll into balls. Pat the balls flat so that they're about 1cm thick.
  • Heat a large frying pan on a medium heat (I use a non-stick pan so don't use any oil, but if you don't have a non-stick pan you may want to use a little vegetable oil to stop the pancakes sticking). Once hot add the pancakes and cook for about 4 minutes until browned on one side .
  • Flip the pancakes over and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until browned and warm all the way through.
  • Serve with fresh fruit and drizzled in maple syrup.

NOTES

Makes 4 pancakes. These are quite filling so I'm happy to eat 1 topped with some fruit but people with larger appetites may want 2.

    Oooh. I like the look of these. They look very easy and totally scrumptious – my kind of food 🙂 Stunning pictures too (again!) Please, please can you do another photography tutorial. Your last one was brilliant, but you must have lots more to teach us mere mortals now! 🙂 Eb x

      I’ve got a few more tips coming up in my monthly report. Is there anything in particular you’d like to know more about.

    Mmmmm… They look nice! Are they firm or fluffy? May have to try de-glutenising them!

      They’re quite firm inside (a similar texture to a cheesecake filling), but still taste quite light. I’ve seen other ricotta pancakes that use eggs and baking powder which would make them a lot lighter. The flour in these is really there to give them a little bit of structure (so they don’t melt into a horrible mess in the pan), so I suspect it would be relatively straightforward to substitute it for a GF alternative. Let me know how it goes if you do.

    I’m all over these – regular pancakes are naff, other than being a vehicle for kilos of delicious sugar products. And it plays up to my philosophy that everything can be made better with cheese (or bacon) .

      I can’t agree with you there – I just love regular pancakes, especially when they’re covered in lemon juice and sugar 🙂 These are definitely a great alternative if you fancy something a little different though. I’m inclined to agree with your cheese/bacon theory and generally when you add both cheese and bacon they’ll end up amazing!
