Bobby Flay Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg original recipe calls for 1/2
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- Butter for griddle
- 1 11-ounce jar of prepared lemon curd
- Fresh raspberries for garnish
- Confectioners’ sugar for garnish
Set a nonstick griddle to high heat.
In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, and sugar. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, lemon juice, and zest.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix them just until they are mixed. Spread butter on a hot griddle.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for every pancake, and cook until lightly golden brown on both sides. Continue until there is no more batter.
Pour the lemon curd into a small saucepan and warm it up over low heat. Alternatively, take off the lid and heat in a microwave on half-power for 2 minutes, stopping for 1 minute to mix the curd.
Top each pancake with a few tablespoons of curd, then garnish with fresh raspberries and confectioners’ sugar.
- Avoid Overmixing: Stir the batter until just combined to ensure light and fluffy pancakes.
Perfect Consistency: Adjust the batter thickness with additional milk if needed for the desired pancake texture.
Even Cooking: Preheat the griddle thoroughly and use butter for a golden brown finish.
Serve Warm: Enjoy these pancakes fresh off the griddle for the best flavor and texture.
