Fluffiest Pancakes: Lemon Ricotta with Balsamic Figs

Using ricotta cheese, I created lemon ricotta pancakes for breakfast . The ricotta is the magic ingredient as it makes the pancakes so light that I managed to eat a stack of four.

 

I’m always curious about how they look when flipping the first time.

A beautifully golden triple-decker. I love when pancakes have that golden ring on the edge.

Added my roasted balsamic figs that I did previously for my tarts. I let the balsamic sauce ooze into the pancakes and then I topped with whip cream and honey. By far the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever made thanks to the ricotta. I could tell when I put the batter in the pan, it held up nicely and didn’t spread too much.

Recipe Notes:

  • I followed the recipe exactly except for the milk. I only had buttermilk on hand, which I knew from the start wasn’t good because the topping was already going to be tart. It turned out all right but the pancake was definitely more tangy than I wanted.
  • This batter is pretty wet. I used a 1/4 cup measure for each pancake. Any more than that and I think it would be a mess to flip.
