Pancake Batter

Lemon Curd

Rhubarb Compote

Method

Pancake Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

  6. 6

    Keep Warm

    Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a kitchen towel while you cook the remaining batter.

Rhubarb Compote Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare Rhubarb

    Chop the rhubarb into small pieces and set aside.

  2. 8

    Cook Rhubarb

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, and a splash of water. Cook until the rhubarb breaks down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.

  3. 9

    Cool Compote

    Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly before serving.

Lemon Curd Preparation

  1. 10

    Whisk Ingredients

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.

  2. 11

    Cook Curd

    Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.

  3. 12

    Add Butter

    Remove from heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and incorporated.

  4. 13

    Cool Curd

    Transfer the lemon curd to a clean jar and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

Serving

  1. 14

    Plate the Pancakes

    Stack the pancakes on a plate.

  2. 15

    Add Toppings

    Top the pancakes with a generous dollop of lemon curd and spoon the rhubarb compote over the top.

  3. 16

    Serve

    Serve warm and enjoy your delicious ricotta pancakes with lemon curd and rhubarb compote.
