Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 0.75 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
- maple syrup (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Fold the cranberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of unsalted butter to grease the surface.
Scoop 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart slightly.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, if desired.
