Ingredients

plain flour 75g
baking powder 1 tsp
ricotta 175g
whole milk 90ml
eggs 2, separated
butter

WHIPPED BUTTER

unsalted butter 150g, at room temperature

honey 2 tbsp

Method

Step 1

To make the whipped butter put all the ingredients in a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until pale.
Step 2

To make the pancakes, sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl with a large pinch of salt. Whisk the ricotta, milk and egg yolks. In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites until they form firm peaks.
Step 3

Gradually whisk the ricotta mix into the flour mix until it becomes a smooth batter. Fold in the egg whites, trying to keep in as much air as possible.
Step 4

Heat some butter in a large non-stick pan. Cook large spoonfuls of the batter until golden on both sides. Serve topped with the whipped butter and another drizzle of honey.
