SERVING SIZE
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs separated
- 1⅓ cup Galbani Ricotta Cheese plus more for topping
- 2 tbsp. confectioner’s sugar
- 1½ freshly grated lime zest
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- Melted butter for brushing the griddle
- Confectioner’s sugar on top to dust
- 1-1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks
Instructions
- In a bowl whisk together egg yolks, Galbani Ricotta Cheese, sugar and zest.
- Add flour, and stir the mixture until it is just combined.
- In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold stiff peaks. Whisk about ¼ of them into ricotta mixture, and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
- Heat the griddle over med-low heat, working in batches, pour the batter onto the griddle by ¼ cup measures and cook the pancakes for 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden, brushing the griddle with some of the melted butter as necessary.
- Transfer pancakes as they are cooked to a heat-proof platter and keep them warm.
- Serve the pancakes with a dusting of sugar, a dollop of Galbani Ricotta Cheese, pineapple chunks and warm maple syrup.
