Preparation

1

Prepare the Chard

Rinse the fresh chard thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and chop the leaves coarsely.

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

3

Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth.

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

5

Add Filling

Fold in the chopped chard, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and nutmeg into the batter until evenly distributed.

6

Cook the Batter

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter to grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
