Are you a breakfast person? Well, I am. For me, it's the most important meal of the day. Even when I was a kid, I needed a full fledged breakfast. Most of my friends breakfast was just a glass of milk, not me. Since it's one of the meals that I enjoy very much, I also indulge the most at brekky time. Somehow I dont feel guilty doing that, may be because of the fact that you've got a full day ahead of you to burn all that calories :)
Here's a simple pancake/hotcake recipe which I love making and eating. It's absolutely light but filling. Hope you will also enjoy these…
Here is the recipe…
Recipe adapted verbatim from here
Put the ricotta, milk and egg yolks into a bowl and mix well to combine. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt and gently whisk to make a smooth batter…
Beat the egg whites until they become foamy – this isn't hard work even, whisking by hand, which is all that's needed here – and then fold them into the ricotta mixture…
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and drop in heaped dessertspoons of batter.Cook the pancakes for about 1 minute until golden and then flip them over and cook for another minute…
Ingredients
- 250 gms Ricotta cheese (1 cup)
- 125 ml Milk ( 1/2 cup)
- 2 large Eggs (separated )
- 100 gms Plain flour ( 2/3 cup)
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Oil
- 250 gms Chopped strawberries (or other berries of your choice )
- Salt
Instructions
- Put the ricotta, milk and egg yolks into a bowl and mix well to combine. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt and gently whisk to make a smooth batter. Beat the egg whites until they become foamy – this isn't hard work even, whisking by hand, which is all that's needed here – and then fold them into the ricotta mixture.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and drop in heaped dessertspoons of batter.
- Cook the pancakes for about 1 minute until golden and then flip them over and cook for another minute.
- Keep the cooked pancakes warm, by tenting with foil on a large warmed plate, while you work your way through the batter, and then serve with syrup and strawberries.
