A tender and delicious pancake with an herby syrup.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups whole ricotta cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped, plus 20 sprigs for syrup
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups water, plus 1 teaspoon cold water, for slurry
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle to 350 °.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, milk, egg yolks and sour cream. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the chopped thyme, lemon zest, pecans and salt. Add the flour mixture, stirring until smooth.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the ricotta mixture. Ladle about 1/3 cup of the batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle, or in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tops are covered with bubbles and the edges look dry. Turn, and cook on the other side. Repeat the procedure with remaining batter. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately with Thyme-Infused Syrup.
