Ricotta Oat Bran Pancakes With Raspberry Sauce Recipes

THE BEST RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) or place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
• Stir ricotta cheese, milk, and egg yolks together in a bowl until combined.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; stir in ricotta mixture.
• Whisk egg whites in a bowl until frothy; fold into ricotta mixture.
• Oil preheated griddle with about 1 teaspoon canola oil; pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until evenly golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; turn and cook until evenly golden on other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, oiling griddle between batches.

LEMON-RASPBERRY RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk almond milk, ricotta, egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice and extract until blended. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. In a clean small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold into batter. Gently stir in raspberries., Lightly grease a griddle; heat over medium heat. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle. Cook until bubbles on top begin to pop and bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with whipped cream, syrup and additional raspberries.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix 2 tablespoons lemon juice and cornstarch together in a bowl until cornstarch dissolves.
• Stir blueberries and 3 tablespoons sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour cornstarch mixture into blueberry mixture; cook and stir until mixture thickens slightly. Cover saucepan and remove from heat.
• Whisk ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, sugar, juice from 1 lemon, lemon zest, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl until well blended. Add flour and baking powder; whisk to combine.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter in 1/4 cup portions onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter. Top pancakes with blueberry sauce.

RICOTTA-OAT-BRAN PANCAKES WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Place raspberries in a sieve set over a bowl. Let stand on the counter to thaw a little. Push berries through sieve using the bottom of a ladle. Discard seeds. Stir maple syrup into raspberry purée.
• Stir flour with oat bran, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until mixed. Whisk egg in a medium bowl. Whisk in ricotta, milk, vanilla, and 4 T oil. Make a well in flour mixture. Pour in egg mixture and stir just until blended.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Lightly brush with remaining oil as needed. When hot, scoop about ¼ c batter into pan. Repeat for each pancake. You should be able to fit 2-3 in the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the top, 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Reduce heat if pancakes are browning too quickly. Remove to a platter. Cover and keep warm until serving. Serve with raspberry sauce.

MINI PANCAKES WITH RASPBERRY SORBET AND CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Special equipment: a 1-ounce ice cream or cookie scoop
• Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the pancake mix and water until just blended and slightly lumpy. Melt the butter on the griddle. For each pancake, add 1 tablespoon of batter to the griddle. Cook until golden brown, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate and allow the pancakes to cool completely.
• Add the chocolate chips and cream to a small bowl. Set the bowl over a small saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
• To serve, put a pancake on a small serving plate. Top with a 1-ounce scoop of sorbet and put another pancake on top of the sorbet. Drizzle with the chocolate sauce and garnish with raspberries. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Cook's Note: Instead of using a 1-ounce cookie scoop, you can make a 1-ounce portion with a tablespoon-size measuring spoon.

LEMON & RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the raspberry sauce, combine the Raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 TBS Lemon Juice in a sauce pan over medium heat. Cook until a sauce forms. I like mine chunky!
• To make the pancakes, combine the flower, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add the milk, oil, egg, and lemon zest.
• Heat a non-stick griddle with non-stick cooking spray over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of the batter onto the griddle. Add a few spoonfuls of the Ricotta cheese to the pancakes.
• Cook until the pancake bubbles (about 2-3 minutes) and flip. Cook until golden brown (another 2-3 minutes). The recipe should make about 12 small pancakes.
• Serve with the Raspberry Sauce and a sprinkle of fresh mint.

OAT PANCAKES WITH RASPBERRIES AND HONEY

Steps:

• Warm the honey and raspberries in a small saucepan over a medium heat, stirring frequently, until the raspberries have thawed. This shouldn't take more than 3 minutes or so. Take the pan off the heat.
• Put the oats and salt in a blender or a food processor with the small bowl fitted, and process until you get the consistency of flour, a mealy flour to be sure, but it should still be fine-ground.
• Tip into a bowl and stir in the baking powder and cinnamon.
• In a measuring jug, whisk together the milk, egg and vanilla, and then stir the wet mixture into the dry, until thoroughly combined. If the batter thickens too much, add more milk. And do not let this batter rest, as otherwise it will thicken too much.
• Pour 1/2 a teaspoon of oil onto a smooth, non-stick griddle (or large cast-iron or heavy-based frying pan) and, with a piece of paper towel, smear it over the whole surface. Put the griddle on a medium heat and, when hot, add the batter, using a quarter-cup measure but only filling it two-thirds full. You should get 4 pancakes at a time, and they will need around 2 minutes a side. Generally, when cooking pancakes, you turn them over when you see bubbles coming to the uppermost side, and while that still holds true, the bubbles are rather understated here. So slip a spatula underneath a pancake after 2 minutes to see if the underside looks cooked, and then when it is, flip it, and the rest of the pancakes, over and cook for another 2 minutes. As always, do not press down on the pancakes as they cook, and do not flip them more than once. When you've cooked the first 4, pile them on a plate, and cover with a clean tea towel, then oil the pan again and proceed as before.
• Serve immediately--the oats carry on drinking up liquid, and the pancakes will dry on standing--with the warm raspberry honey poured on top.
