Orange-Ricotta Pancakes

By mhyde

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups (15 ounces) ricotta cheese
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons grated orange zest (1 orange)
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• Confectioners’ sugar or maple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, and orange zest. Whisk in flour until just combined.

2. Heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Working in batches (and adding more oil to skillet as needed), add batter, using a scant 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer pancakes to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot, dusted with confectioners’ sugar or drizzled with maple syrup.
