Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 non-stick pan
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 small saucepot

Ingredients

Dry ingredients

  • cups (260 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (25 grams) sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla powder or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Wet ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) milk
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp orange zest packed
  • 3 eggs, large
  • 1 tbsp (15 grams) melted butter
  • ¾ cup (185 grams) ricotta cheese
  • 2-3 tbsp (30-45 grams) butter for frying

For the fruit compote

  • 1 orange, segmented
  • 6 strawberries, sliced
  • 2 teaspoon orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients.
    1¾ cups (260 grams) all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp (25 grams) sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ½ teaspoon vanilla powder
  • In a medium sized bowl whisk together all the wet ingredients.
    1 cup (250 mL) milk, ¼ cup (60 mL) orange juice, 1 tbsp orange zest, 3 eggs, large, 1 tbsp (15 grams) melted butter, ¾ cup (185 grams) ricotta cheese
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is well mixed. Do not worry if your batter has lumps.
  • Melt ½ tablespoon of butter in your non-stick pan and pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake into the pan.
    2-3 tbsp (30-45 grams) butter
  • Cook over medium heat until you see bubbles forming on the top surface of the pancakes. Carefully flip over and cook for a few more minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked pancakes to a cooling rack and then remove the pan from the heat and wipe it clean. Add more butter and repeat until you have used up all the batter.
  • Keep your pancakes warm while cooking up the rest by placing them in your oven, directly on the rack, set to the lowest heat with the door slightly ajar.
  • Serve with our fruit compote, maple syrup, honey or powdered sugar.

To make the fruit compote

  • Combine all ingredients in a small saucepot and heat over medium high heat until the fruit is soft and the liquid has thickened to a syrup consistency. Stir very carefully so that you don't break apart the fruit.
