RICOTTA PANCAKES

Makes 12 pancakes - 3pp each

INGREDIENTS

375g reduced fat ricotta cheese (10pp)

190ml skim milk (2pp)

1 tbsp stevia powder (0pp)

4 eggs, separated (7pp)

180g plain flour (17pp)

Pinch of salt (0pp)

1tsp baking powder (0pp)

1 tsp vanilla extract (0pp)

Zest of one orange (0pp)

Oil for cooking (1pp)


METHOD

Place ricotta, stevia, milk and egg yolks in a mixing bowl and mix to combine.

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.

Add to the ricotta mixture along with vanilla extract and zest and mix until just combined.

Place egg whites in a clean dry bowl and beat until stiff peaks form.

Fold egg whites through batter.

Lightly grease a large non-stick frying pan and drop a 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the pan. 

Cook over a low to medium heat for 2 minutes, or until pancakes have golden undersides.

Turn pancakes and cook on the other side until golden and cooked through.

I served mine with stewed apple and sugar free maple flavoured syrup.
