method
1. For the griddle cakes, place the ricotta
cheese, semi-skimmed milk, runny
honey and egg yolks into a bowl. Use
your hand mixer on setting 5 to whisk
the ingredients together.
. Sift the flour and the baking powder
into a large bowl. Add it to the ricotta
mixture a tablespoon at a time as you
whisk until you achieve a smooth batter.
. In another bowl whisk the egg whites
to soft peaks then add the caster sugar
and whisk until stiff and glossy. Add a
spoonful of the egg whites to the ricotta
mixture to slacken it, then fold in the
remainder of the whisked egg whites
using your hand mixer on setting 1.
. Oil or butter a non-stick frying pan
and spoon tbsp of the ricotta batter
into the pan for each griddle cake.
Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook over a
medium-to-low heat for about minutes
before flipping them over and repeating
until golden. Cook the griddle cakes in
batches and keep them warm.
