Nutritional info:
- If using wholemeal flour, it is a good source of fibre and will keep you feeling fuller for longer.
- Salmon is a good source of protein, healthy fats, B vitamins, Vitamin D & Magnesium
- Ricotta provides you with protein and calcium
Ingredients:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or wholemeal flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup chives, finely chopped
Method:
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Combine ricotta, milk, egg yolks, in a separate, larger mixing bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the ricotta and milk mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Beat the egg whites with a handheld electric mixer until stiff . Stir a small scoop of the egg whites into the pancake batter to lighten the mixtures then fold the rest of the egg whites with a spatula.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Melt a small bit of butter or oil in the pan, just enough to coat the surface. Use a 1/3-cup measure to pour batter onto the hot pan. Cook the pancakes for about 3 or 4 minutes, until the undersides are golden and you see a few bubbles popping through the pancakes. Flip the pancakes and cook another 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Repeat with the remaining pancakes.
- Serve the pancakes immediately, with more ricotta, smoked salmon, parsley and balsamic syrup.
