Fluffy pancakes that are scented with orange zest and chunks of ricotta, sweetened with honey and incredibly tender thanks to the olive oil. A perfect breakfast recipe for anyone and everyone.
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.
