Buffalo Ricotta Pancakes with Berries

By Vannella Cheese

For slow mornings that call for something a little more indulgent, these pancakes are all about comfort, ease, and savouring the weekend. Made with our beautifully fluffy Buffalo ricotta, they’re soft, airy, and impossibly simple. Stacked and served warm with fresh berries and Buffalo ricotta, add a generous drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet touch. The kind of breakfast that invites you to slow down, and stay a little longer in bed.

Ingredients

  • 350g Buffalo ricotta (seperated 320g for cooking & 30g for topping)
  • 180ml milk
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature, separated
  • 150g All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Whey butter, to cook

To serve:

  • Berries (washed and cut)
  • Leftover Buffalo Ricotta
  • Maple syrup
  • Whey butter

Method

Place Buffalo ricotta, milk and egg yolks in a bowl and mix to combine. Sift the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a separate bowl. Add ricotta mixture and whisk until just combined. 

Place egg whites in a clean dry bowl and whisk to stiff peaks. In 2 batches, fold egg whites through ricotta mixture using a large metal spoon.

Lightly grease a large non-stick frypan with a small portion of butter. Working in batches (don’t cook more than 2-3 pancakes in the pan at one time) add 1/4 cup batter to the pan.

Cook over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process until you have 16 pancakes total.

To assemble, stack pancakes on top of each other, layering with sliced berries and Buffalo ricotta as you go. Serve topped with maple syrup drizzled over.
