Fantastic pancakes! These are light and fluffy and, imho, should not be covered up with syrup. I just squeezed fresh orange juice on top and sprinkled w powdered sugar and they were to die for.

I altered slightly but these turned out way better than I expected. Changes, I used whole ricotta, 2 tsp. baking powder, orange extract instead of vanilla, whole milk and 2 Tbsp. sugar not three. If you want a more orange flavor use an orange syrup on top or add extra zest or orange extract. I think the flavor was buttery and you could taste the orange but not so overpowering that it would be strange with maple syrup. I let the batter sit for a few minutes on the counter, let it get air, then use a 1\/4 cup measuring cup or a large cookie scoop in a lightly buttered or spray skillet. These take longer to cook and the batter remains quite wet on top when it's ready to flip, so be careful not to splatter wet batter when flipping. They are done when the internal temperature reaches 160\u00b0. Really good. This is a keeper and a great way to use up any leftover ricotta after a lasagna dinner.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-02-13","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Rachel5567"},"reviewBody":"
So good!! I I used 2 T sugar and 1\/2 C whole wheat flour + 1 C white flour. I also used whole milk and whole ricotta and left out the orange zest to make it a little easier and these are sooo yummy! I ate them plain or with fresh squeezed orange juice on top. To help them cook through, I would spread the batter out a little bit on your griddle and cook on a lower temperature and slower than typical pancakes. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2022-10-09","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"misscoffeepot"},"reviewBody":"Lovely, lovely lovely- light fluffy, but not choke it down dry like box mixes.

This recipe makes the best pancakes ever! They are soooo moist and the ricotta gives them such a smooth texture.

Great pancakes. For a more orange taste, I added a couple of tablespoons of frozen concentrated orange juice or make a simple homemade orange syrup to go with the original recipe<\/p>
Ingredients:<\/p>
1\/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate<\/p>
1\/3 cup cup granulated sugar<\/p>
1\/3 cup butter<\/p>
Preparation:<\/p>
In small saucepan, combine the orange juice concentrate, sugar, and butter. Warm the mixture up on low heat and stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and cool. Store in refrigerator. Warm before use. Use syrup to drizzle over pancakes and waffles in place of maple syrup.<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"03\/16\/2014 16:50","GUID":"3ef48905ac484c44983d2fe85d938282","MemberId":6459478,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"wmplpi","SubmittedDate":"03\/16\/2014 16:46"},{"Comment":"

These are the best pancakes I've ever made. My whole family raves about them.

The BEST pancakes I've EVER made. They were light, fluffy and melt-in-your-mouth heaven! I have to admit that my variation adds more calories, but I had to use what I had at hand: 1\/2 & 1\/2, just orange juice but no zest, and whole milk ricotta and extra vanilla. This caused me to have to add more 1\/2 & 1\/2 because the resulting batter was too thick. So, I estimated how much more I needed to get the right batter consistency and did my blending with a wisk to incorporate air into the batter. The resulting pancakes were incredible! I'll be using this again...only next time w\/part-skim ricotta and 2% milk and adding the zest. Just using the juice didn't give it that extra orange umph that it could have used. I didn't miss it in this time, but I want to taste a bit more orange. The zest will do that. 5 stars for this recipe!!<\/p>","CommentId":26,"DateRated":"","GUID":"420233590aa447ae9476685d83ee0cbc","MemberId":7589395,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jmassage58","SubmittedDate":"01\/08\/2014 12:48"},{"Comment":"

Mom & I loved this recipe after I made some changes due to low salt diet.

Really a keeper & took out at least 1000 mg. of sodium so mom's legs didn't swell at all! I got 12 pancakes at 109 mg sodium each.
