Sheet Pan Ricotta Pancakes Recipes

RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat griddle to medium heat.
• In large bowl, blend together ricotta and butter. Whisk in eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
• Add flour, baking powder, salt and sugar to top of wet ingredients, then mix together until just blended.
• Drop batter by ¼ cupfuls onto hot griddle.
• Cook 3-4 minutes or until bubbles appear on top and don't pop. Flip, and cook 3-4 more minutes or until golden brown.

RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Stir 1/3 cup of water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stir in the honey. Set aside and keep the honey syrup warm.
• Using a rubber spatula, stir the remaining 1 2/3 cups of water and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the pancake mix and stir just until moistened but still lumpy. Stir in the ricotta into the pancake mixture, then stir gently to incorporate the ricotta but maintain a lumpy batter. Fold in the blueberries.
• Heat a griddle over medium heat. Brush with the melted butter. Working in batches, spoon 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with the honey syrup.

SHEET-PAN RICOTTA PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine pears, cider, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cover and heat over medium-high. When mixture starts to boil (about 5 minutes), stir and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover again and simmer, uncovering and stirring occasionally, until pears are softened, about 15 minutes.
• Using a potato masher, mash until pears are a chunky purée. Continue to cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid is mostly evaporated and compote is the consistency of chunky applesauce, 25-30 minutes. Let cool.
• Do Ahead: Compote can be made 5 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 18x13" rimmed sheet pan. Line with parchment, then butter parchment.
• Mix oats and cider in a medium bowl.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another medium bowl to combine.
• Whisk eggs, ricotta, honey, and lemon zest in a large bowl to combine, making sure eggs are fully incorporated. Add one-third of dry ingredients to egg mixture and whisk to combine. Add half of cider mixture to egg mixture and whisk again. Add half of remaining dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Add remaining cider mixture and whisk to combine yet again. Using a rubber scraper, fold remaining dry ingredients into batter just until combined.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly into corners with a spatula.
• Dollop tablespoonfuls of pear compote across top of batter. Stick a butter knife or skewer straight down into batter and drag through compote in a figure-eight motion to create a swirling pattern.
• Bake pancake until top is golden brown and center springs back when pressed with a finger, 35-40 minutes.
• Let pancake cool at least 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, if using, then cut into 16 pieces.
• Do Ahead: Pancakes can be made 5 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill, or freeze up to 3 months. To reheat, heat sliced pancake in a toaster oven until warmed through, about 8 minutes (10 minutes if frozen); or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave about 30 seconds (60 seconds if frozen).

SHEET PAN PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Use 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to generously grease the bottom and sides of an 18-by-13-inch half-sheet pan.
• Into a blender, add the eggs, milk and vanilla. Next add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Blend until just combined, about 30 seconds.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Imagine the sheet pan in thirds, then sprinkle the chocolate chips in the first third, the blueberries in the second and the strawberries in the third, making 3 sections or stripes. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
• To serve, cut a square of the chosen flavor of pancake and top with some warm maple syrup.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Heat a griddle or large nonstick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-low.
• Add the sugar to a large bowl, then finely grate the zest of the lemon directly over the sugar. Using your fingers, gently rub the zest into the sugar. Add the vanilla and whisk to evenly moisten. Add the eggs and whisk until foamy on top, then add the ricotta, buttermilk and butter, and whisk until well blended. Add the flour mixture and gently stir until no traces of flour remain.
• Generously butter the griddle, then drop a scant 1/4 cup batter onto it. Repeat, spacing the rounds at least an inch apart. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with more butter and the remaining batter. Serve warm, slathered with butter and blueberry syrup or other toppings if you'd like.

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Generously spray a sheet pan with cooking spray.
• Mix pancake mix, milk, and eggs together in a large bowl; let sit for 5 minutes. Pour into the prepared sheet pan. Top with strawberries and blueberries.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center of the pancake is springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 15 minutes.

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.

SHEET-PAN CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Grease a 13-by-18-inch sheet pan using 1 tablespoon softened butter, then line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large measuring cup, combine the buttermilk and milk; set aside.
• In a food processor, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and blend until combined, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle the chilled butter cubes on top and pulse the mixture until the butter is coarse and sandy, and some pieces are the size of peas. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and pour the buttermilk mixture on top. Whisk to combine, then let stand for 5 minutes. Place the prepared sheet pan in the oven on the middle rack to heat while the batter sits.
• Remove the hot pan from the oven, add the remaining 2 tablespoons softened butter to the pan and return to the oven until the butter is melted and bubbling, about 1 minute. Remove the pan and carefully tip to spread the melted butter around. Working quickly, stir the risen batter one final time and pour it into the center of the pan, tipping the pan again to spread the batter evenly. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the batter.
• Return the pan to the oven and bake until cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes. Broil until the top turns golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool slightly then cut into squares. Serve warm, with maple syrup, if desired.
