Ricotta and Peach Pancakes
A delicious if high calorie breakfast or desert! Easy to make and guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser.
Ingredients
- 2 cups smooth ricotta
- 1 cup milk
- 3 free range eggs
- 2 tbs caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 11/2 cups self-raising flour
- 20g butter, melted
- 2 yellow peaches, destoned, quartered
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
Instructions
1. Whisk half the ricotta, milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl until combined. Place flour in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Gradually add ricotta mixture, whisking until combined.
2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Brush pan with a little butter to grease. Add 1/4 cup batter for each pancake to pan, two at a time, spreading to 11cm wide. Cook for 2 minutes or until small bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for a further 1 minute or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Wipe pan clean, regrease with butter and repeat with remaining batter to make 16 pancakes.
3. Cut peach quarters into 4 wedges. Add syrup to pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add peaches and cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Stack 4 pancakes on each plate, layering with remaining ricotta and peaches.
Tip:
When making pancakes, wiping the pan clean with paper towel before regreasing stops the butter burning and discolouring the pancakes.
Notes
If anyone in your family has an oral sensory challenge, the ricotta could be problematical. Try creamed cottage cheese instead.
