You know the kind...raining, dreary, cold, somewhat depressing. AND it was Monday!
Anyway, we had my family over for the Super Bowl the night before (for my yummy Brunswick Stew) which you can see HERE and quite frankly I just didn't feel like cooking again. The only thing that even remotely sounded good to me was pancakes! Pancakes for dinner has always been a bit odd for me but when the mood hit I ran with it! And I was so glad I did! These were truly the best pancakes I've ever had and I will never make them the old way again!
On a side note..pancakes for dinner also reminds me of my favorite movie so that's always a plus!
Only pancakes were cooking in my kitchen though!
And maybe some bacon!

Sure hope you'll give these a try! Let me know what you think...
Ricotta Pancakes
1 Cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 Cup whole milk ricotta cheese
3/4 Cup milk
2 large eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
~mix together the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Combine ricotta cheese with the milk and the egg yolks in a large bowl. Beat egg whites with a hand held mixer until stiff and set aside. Add dry ingredients to the ricotta mixture and whisk well. Add in a small amount of the egg whites and stir until blended. Gently fold in the rest of the egg whites.
Heat a griddle or pan over medium high heat. I sprayed mine with Pam and then added a teaspoon or so of butter when I began cooking. Pour about 1/3 Cup of the mixture onto the hot griddle for each pancake.Turn when ready...about 3 or so minutes per side until golden.~
So, heres to eating lots of great pancakes...morning or night!
