Light & Fluffy Ricotta Pancakes with Raspberry Sauce

Who here celebrates Pancake Tuesday? Count me and my family in! I love this day, it’s such a fun excuse to make pancakes for dinner and bring the family together. Breakfast is by far my favourite meal of the day, and now you’re actually encouraged to eat breakfast at any time of the day!! And hey, the winter is long and there doesn’t seem to be much to be excited about except the arrival of spring.

I thought I’d change things up from the classic pancakes and try something different, like ricotta pancakes and add a sweet raspberry sauce instead of topping my pancakes with maple syrup. Who’s kidding who, I added maple syrup plus the raspberry sauce and it was delicious!!

I was super impressed at how light and fluffy the pancakes turned out! I could only taste a hint of the ricotta cheese but really enjoyed the subtle flavour and it paired perfectly with the sweet raspberry sauce.

I’m no master when it comes to making the perfect fluffy pancake like my Dad. His Buttermilk Blueberry PancakesΒ are the fluffiest and tastiest around. He truly has mastered the perfect pancake. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying his pancakes at the cottage then you’ll know what I’m talking about! He loves making and sharing them with his guests (it must run in the family, the pleasures of sharing and cooking food; bringing people together). And you will also know that he doesn’t steer from his favourites! I’m very tempted to see if I can persuade him to try these ricotta pancakes. I know I won’t be able to get him to add the raspberry sauce, but baby steps here folks!! I can also predict what he will say – β€œthey were good, but I like my blueberry pancakes better”. Stay tuned to find out if I can get my Dad to branch out!!

These pancakes are delicious! Honestly, they are soo light and fluffy. The ricotta cheese just gives them a bit of a different flavour. We had ours with fruit and yogurt on top and the raspberry sauce. Since there were only two of us the remaining ones are in the freezer for tomorrow!

Life is uncertain, but dessert doesn't have to be!

Potato Dill Quiche with Goat CheeseΒ 

This potato and dill quiche with goat cheese is made using a classic pie pastry crust and is loaded with roasted potatoes, red peppers, garlic, goat cheese and of course fresh dill! The combination of milk and cream gives a richer and creamier flavour than the typical quiche recipe.
