Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Microplane or zester

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 baking powder
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe pear peeled, cored, and finely grated
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • Maple syrup for serving
  • Powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and sugar. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Incorporate the Pear: Fold in the grated pear, mixing until it's evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve: Transfer the pancakes to serving plates. Drizzle with maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
