Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Rubber spatula
- Metal spatula
- Sauce pot
Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 cup Flour
- 1/2 cup Desiccated coconut
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 Orange zest
- 1 cup Ricotta
Hot Honey
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1 Orange juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl add the egg, olive oil, buttermilk, honey and stir until combined. Add the desiccated coconut, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and fold.
- Add the ricotta and stir together. Do not overwork the batter.
- Spoon the batter into a sauté pan on medium heat and cook the batter for 1-2 minutes on each side. You will know it is ready to flip when the top of the pancake has bubbles and is dry on the edges. Using a metal spatula, flip the pancake and cook until it puffs up. Repeat until all the batter is finished.
- To make the hot honey, in a small sauce pot add the honey and orange juice. Stir together and pour over the pancakes while hot. Enjoy with a glass for milk and some fresh fruit.
Notes
- Do not over work the batter as we want this to be lumpy. Make sure there are no dry pockets of flour.
