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.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/27/2014   Also, instead of doing the orange zest, I used a tsp of pumpkin spice for a different flavor. Turned out great! You could even get away with doing 2 tsps of pumpkin spice, without it being too overpowering... This recipe is already sweet, as is. Try them plain, before you go smothering them in powdered sugar or syrup, or fruit topping. You might like them better that way.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/27/2014   Good recipe. Flavor tastes great. However, don't expect your typical pancake consistency. On the website I got this recipe from, it was touted as the "fluffiest" pancakes. Not sure I agree with that. But, I would call them the "softest and creamiest" instead. Batter seemed too thick as is. So, I added about a 1/4 cup of milk to thin it out. Definitely cook on low heat and take your time with these! Easy to burn on the outsides, without being done on the inside. Overall, delicious pancakes though  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/25/2014   Issue: Wet interior, I think the main culprit here might be a missing ingredient. No leavening agent....another basic recipe from Everyday food includes baking powder. Test one teaspoon..maybe 2. Issue: Browning, if you have a high proportion of sugar you run the risk. It's the sugar caramelizing...as some found it too sweet , cut down. Like coffee, add sweets after it's brewed. Issue: Too thick, split batter in thirds, add liquid to one, test, adjust next amt. or try different liquid  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/30/2013   I was a little skeptical of cheesy pancakes before I made them, but they turned out great! They took much longer than normal pancakes to cook but browned eventually. I've seen some comments about the texture being weird, but mine was fine. I added chocolate chips because chocolate makes everything better. The batter was really quick/easy to put together & I had almost all the ingredients in the house. My boyfriend and my roommates loved them! I don't think they'd feed 4 hungry people though.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/26/2013   Delicious! The batter is definitely on the thicker side but the pancakes are light and moist. I used all the orange zest and squeezed the juice of half the orange which made the batter a little thinner. A little too sweet for me as I served them with honey. I'd cut down the sugar the recipe calls for and cook them in salted butter to give them that nice crust and a touch of salt! Definitely cook over low heat. Use 1/4 cup to pour the right amount of batter, a spatula rounds them out nicely.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2012   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.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/13/2011   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!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/29/2011   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.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/30/2010   I agree way too thick, need more liquid. My grandson begged me not to make them again. Oh well.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/17/2010   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!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/03/2010   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.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/04/2009   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.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/25/2008   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.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/30/2008   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.
