Here is how I adapted them
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz. container ricotta (I used fat free)
- 1 1/2 cups milk (I used skim)
- 4 egg yolks
- 5 egg whites
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup splenda
- 2 lemons, zest and juice
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (that is what the original called for, I didn't up it - I didn't measure, just poured an amount that seemed about that much, erring on the side of a bit more.)
Directions
- Whisk together ricotta, milk, egg yolks, sugar, splenda, and the lemon zest and juice.
- Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt. (You can combine these first as recipes usually tell you to. I added my 2 cups of flour, then in my 1 cup measuring cup added 1/4 cup flour, the baking pwd and salt. Stirred that together and added it to my mix.)
- In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until you have stiff peaks.
- Fold egg whites into the other mixture with a rubber spatula.
- Bake on a griddle (I found between 350 and 375 worked well. 375 was a bit high, 350 a bit low.) I like to flatten these a bit with the back of the cup I dish them with. They don't bubble much like a regular pancake so keep an eye on them. They are very nice and fluffy.
Yield: 32 pancakes for me.
Additional notes 5/26/2011 - subbed out 1/2 cup wheat flour - would have gone 1/2 and 1/2 but I only had 1/2 cup already ground and I didn't want to grind more. I'm also planning to sub out Truvia for the splenda, but that will wait for next time. I also updated the Yield - no idea why I had only 22. Definitely makes 32 - using a 1/3 cup measuring cup (probably closer to 1/4 cup of actual batter per pancake with the stuff that sticks to the cup. I just make 8 at a time on my griddle - the size that fits.)
