Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup fresh raspberries
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1/3 cup cake flour
  • 3/4 cup ricotta
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • cooking spray, for the skillet
  • fresh raspberries, for serving
Directions
  1. In a saucepan, combine the syrup and raspberries and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Let cool, then add the lemon juice. Strain through a fine-meshed strainer, pushing hard to remove the seeds.
  2. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
  3. Fit an electric mixer with the whisk attachment. Beat the egg whites on medium speed in a mixing bowl until they hold stiff peaks (they should just curl over and form a stiff hook when the whisk is held upright). In another bowl, stir together the egg yolks, flour, ricotta, butter, sugar, salt, and lemon zest until well mixed.
  4. With a large spoon or a spatula, fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture and gently stir; there should still be small pieces of egg white showing. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat lightly with cooking spray and spoon out about 3 large tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Cook slowly for about 1-2 minutes, then turn the pancake over and cook for about 30 seconds.
  5. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven until ready to serve. Serve with the raspberry syrup or maple syrup and fresh raspberries.
