Description

Delightfully fluffy pancakes with a twist of tart cranberries and sweet orange zest, perfect for any breakfast occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

  3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the ricotta mixture until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
  4. Carefully fold in the cranberries and orange zest, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet, allowing space for them to spread.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  8. Serve warm with syrup or your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk with almond milk. For a different flavor, you can swap cranberry for blueberries.
