Fluffy Ricotta Pancakes Soft (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Wet ingredients

01 - 3/4 cup ricotta cheese, full fat
02 - 3 large eggs (55g each)
03 - 3 tbsp caster sugar
04 - 3/4 cup milk, full fat preferred
05 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
06 - 1 tsp white vinegar or other clear vinegar

→ Dry ingredients

07 - 1 1/3 cups plain/all-purpose flour
08 - 2 tsp baking powder
09 - 1/4 tsp baking soda
10 - Pinch of salt

→ Serving and cooking

11 - 1 tbsp (15g) butter, melted
12 - 250g strawberries, halved or quartered
13 - 1 tbsp caster sugar
14 - Maple syrup, as needed

# Instructions:

01 - Place all Wet ingredients in a bowl and whisk vigorously until well combined. Small ricotta curds should remain, but avoid large clumps.
02 - Scatter the Dry ingredients over the wet mixture and whisk until well combined. The batter will be slightly thicker than standard pancake batter.
03 - Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat until hot. Lightly brush the surface with melted butter or use a paper towel to wipe off excess butter.
04 - Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, spreading gently if needed. Cook the first side for 1 1/2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook the second side for another 1 1/2 minutes. Adjust the heat to prevent overcooking or undercooking.
05 - Repeat the process with the remaining batter, brushing the pan lightly with butter as needed. Keep pancakes stacked to maintain warmth or use a low 50°C/125°F oven. Aim for 9 to 10 pancakes in total.
06 - Serve the pancakes with macerated strawberries, softened butter, and maple syrup as desired.
07 - In a small bowl, toss strawberries with sugar and let sit for 20 minutes to release their juices and soften slightly. Chill overnight if preferred.
