Ricotta-Almond Pancakes with Berry-Maple Syrup
Whisking creamy ricotta cheese and almond flour into the batter yields pancakes that are light, fluffy, and spongy in the center with a slightly crispy edge. Folding whipped egg whites into the batter just before cooking is the secret to their exceptionally airy texture. Served with a warm, spiced berry-maple syrup, this breakfast is a beautiful, upscale treat that turns any morning into a special occasion.
