Recipe by Justin Chapple For the ultimate pancakes, use fresh ricotta cheese and finely grated lemon zest. For a topping that is special and seasonal, try this quick sauté of apples with butter, sugar and cinnamon.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 crisp red or pink apples, preferably Honeycrisp
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 1 1/4 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
  • kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 c. whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 c. fresh ricotta cheese
  • Warm pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the apples, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of the lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just tender and golden, about 5 minutes; keep warm.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. In a medium bowl, whisk the milk with the egg yolks, ricotta, and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon of lemon zest. Whisk the mix into the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
  3. In a clean, large stainless steel bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold them into the batter.
  4. Preheat a griddle and grease it with butter. Scoop 1/4-cup mounds of batter onto the griddle. Cook the pancakes over moderately high heat until bubbles appear on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the pancakes are risen and golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to plates, spoon the warm apples on top, and serve with warm maple syrup.
