Apple and Ricotta Cheese Pancakes
If you’ve never added ricotta cheese to pancake batter, you're missing out! Apple & Ricotta Cheese Pancakes are a tasty choice to spice up your breakfast.
Apple season is one of my favorite times of the year. When I was a kid, I loved to head out to my aunt and uncle’s apple orchard and pick bushels of apples to experiment with in the kitchen. If you’ve never added ricotta cheese to pancake batter, you are definitely missing out!
FOOD FACT: Maillard browning is the process by which amino acids from proteins react with sugar to produce the characteristic brown color and flavor of these yummy pancakes.

Instructions
Use a wire whisk or mixer with a whisk attachment to mix together the ricotta cheese, milk, apples, flour, honey, cinnamon, almonds, salt, and nutmeg. Beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl and then fold them into the batter.

My favorite is maple syrup and fresh berries!
