Organic Ricotta Cheese Buttermilk Flapjacks
Ingredients:
1 cup organic all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon organic baking powder
3/4 teaspoon organic baking soda
1/4 teaspoon organic nutmeg
2 organic eggs, separated
1 cup organic buttermilk
2/3 cup whole milk ricotta cheese (organic, if you can find it)
1 tablespoon grated organic lemon peel
Instructions:
Place the organic flour, organic baking powder, organic baking soda and organic nutmeg into a large mixing bowl. Whisk together, blending well. Place the organic egg yolks in a separate bowl. Pour in the organic buttermilk. Add the organic ricotta cheese and organic lemon peel and whisk until completely blended. Place the organic egg whites in a separate bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium high speed until soft peaks begin forming. Add the organic ricotta cheese mixture to the organic flour mixture and blend until just combined. Carefully fold in the egg whites. Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot. Coat the skillet with organic oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the prepared skillet. Cook 2 minutes or until bubbles appear around the edge. Flip and continue cooking 1 minute or until a light brown. Continue until all the batter has been used. Heat oven to 200 degrees and place cooked flapjacks on an oven safe platter in the heated oven to keep them warm until ready to serve. Makes 15 flapjacks
