Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups (15 ounces) part-skim 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
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, and orange zest. Whisk in flour until just combined.
-
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.
I've always had good luck with these pancakes and my kids like them, too. It's true they have a completely different consistency than regular pancakes, and I do add some milk to make the batter more batter-like. They taste great though and are a wonderful way to use up ricotta.
these came out to an amazing texture and I have already made them many times with great results I even like the cold leftovers as a snack with apple butter spread!
I made these and was so disappointed. They came out looking great but they were weird. My husband ate them but I could not. Serves 4??? well he ate almost all of them(save three) I ate one and am still feeling it,he is fine. It is not a traditional pancake and quite expensive(ricotta0 but not worth it. I will stick with some vanilla and shredded apple in a traditional pancake batter.
I agree way too thick, need more liquid. My grandson begged me not to make them again. Oh well.
These came out delicious and sweet. My first time making ricotta pancakes and I was quite pleased. I also added cinnamon, a touch of vanilla extract and orange juice instead of zest. CAUTION, they do burn easily, so keep heat on medium and keep and eye on those pancakes!
There are so wonderful. From comments below it seems like some are expecting these to be runnier... which they aren't. I keep the heat low and cook them slowly. Everyone loves them... especially when you butter them and dust them with confectioners sugar.

This is a very strange recipe and I do not recommend it. It makes such a thick paste that I had to add two full cups of orange juice (16 oz.) to thin it to a spreadable consistency. As BerkeleyMomKKT said, when you turn the heat down to prevent burning, they cook up damp and rubbery, but if you turn the heat up, they burn black very quickly. Really a waste of almost a pound of good ricotta. They are gummy at best, and nothing like regular pancakes.

Nice flavor, but definitely an odd texture... almost sponge-like and creamy. I don't think I'll make these again. Not my idea of a pancake.
Hi! The ones that I had at the Red Eye Grill in NYC were moist in the center... I had them at the Red Eye Grill in NYC... and that was the way they were... Oh, the added some candied orange zest... what a treat!

If you wait a few days- you will be able to find it on the website. The shows are available for segments or a complete show.
It would be wonderful to have the video for this! It was delightful.
Are they supposed to be soft in the middle? When I turn the heat down far enough so that they don't burn at 5 min per side, they seem undone. With the heat up higher they seem undone AND turn nearly black. The flavor is nice though, love the orange zest.
