Ombre Ricotta Pancakes Recipe

Elsie has a theory that the best pancakes are made at home. It's probably no surprise to you that we love homemade. And homemade pancakes are the perfect example. You can make them exactly how you want and wear your pjs while eating them. This is one of my all time favorite pancake recipes. The addition of the ricotta makes these just the right amount of creamy.Ricotta Pancakes, makes 6-8

3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup ricotta
1/2 cup milk
oil or butter for cooking

In a bowl combine all ingredients until nearly no lumps appear in the batter. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a couple tablespoons oil or butter. I usually use oil (canola or vegetable) as I prefer a slightly crispy edge to my pancake. When your pan is hot pour 1/4 cup batter in the center. Wait until the batter begins to bubble, then flip. Adjust your heat if the pancakes are cooking too fast or too slow.
I divided my batter into three bowls and tinted each with varing amounts of red food coloring before cooking. This created an ombré color effect, which I thought was really cute. I was sort of bummed the morning I made these because my niece wasn't staying at my house that weekend. (She's there every now and again, and I love it!) She is a big fan of "pink" food, so I will have to make these again for her sometime. xo. Emma

One of my favorite homemade pancake recipes is to add cottage cheese, cinnamon and shredded apple to your standard pancake mix (maybe a little less water/milk because of the apples and cheese). They're delicious!

OMG you're so wonderful! I can't wait to try <3 Thanks so much! :)

That looks SO delicious!! We've been getting a little crafty with our pancakes lately too. Living in Spain, we couldn't find any Mapeline to make our normal homemade syrup so we heated up some jam and added a few other ingredients and turned it into raspberry syrup and it is SO delicious!! I even prefer it over traditional syrup:)

Looks pretty but I'm not a fan of artificially dyed foods. Maybe if I made it with beet color instead. :) But yes, pancakes made from home are the best! Try Pamela's gluten free pancake mix it's my favorite :)

Forget about the ombre, it's the ricotta that has me swooning! I never thought to add creamy cheese to my pancakes but it sounds like heaven!

I agree with Elsie, pancakes are better when they are made at home.
