How I make it

  1. Put the ricotta, milk and egg yolks in a bowl and mix well.

  2. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk gently into a smooth batter.

  3. Whisk the egg whites by hand just until they start to foam, then fold them into the ricotta mixture.

  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet and drop in heaping teaspoons of batter.

  5. Fry for about 1 minute until golden, flip and fry 1 minute more.

  6. Keep the pancakes warm on a large heated plate, covered with foil, while you fry the rest of the batter.

  7. Serve with the strawberries, or with syrup.

What I've learned

  • I whisk the whites only until they start to foam; that's all this batter needs.
