Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup goat cheese
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • Unsalted butter, softened
  • Maple syrup, to serve

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, cheeses, and sour cream until blended.
  • In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the cheese mixture with the milk and whisk until blended.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold the egg whites into the batter.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and brush with a little butter.
  • Working in batches, spoon 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake onto the griddle or into the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove to a platter and keep pancakes warm in the oven.
  • Put 10 pancakes on each plate and serve drizzled with syrup.
