Delicious Ricotta and Spinach Pancake

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- The mixture of ricotta and spinach in the liquid batter distributes nutrients and flavor throughout the pancake structure. - The natural fat of the ricotta added to the eggs provides softness to the discs without requiring the addition of heavy butter. - Cooking for 3 to 4 minutes per side over medium heat browns the outside while keeping the inside moist and fluffy.

Chef Tips

- Squeeze all excess liquid from the cooked spinach before chopping and adding to the dough so as not to ruin the consistency. - Use a well-heated non-stick pan greased with a few drops of olive oil on a paper towel so as not to burn. - Keep the flame at medium-low intensity so that the inside of the pancake cooks without burning the surface.

Variations

- Adicione 1 pitada de noz-moscada ralada na hora e 2 colheres de queijo parmesão ralado fino à massa líquida. - Enrole as panquecas com recheio extra de queijo muçarela, cubra com molho de tomate e leve ao forno para gratinar. - Acrescente sementes de linhaça ou chia à massa para somar crocância sutil e fibras ao prato.

Substitutions

- The wheat flour can be replaced by fine oat flour for a more nutritious profile. - Fresh ricotta can be replaced by whipped cottage cheese or mashed fresh minas cheese. - Cooked spinach can be replaced by well-chopped and sautéed collard greens or fresh watercress.

How to Store

Store the pancake discs in a sealed plastic container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place directly in a heated skillet for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or microwave for 40 seconds.

Can You Freeze It?

Pancakes freeze easily for up to 60 days in the freezer. Stack the cold discs interleaving sheets of parchment paper so they don't stick and defrost directly in the toaster or hot skillet.

What to Serve With

Serve hot with steaming homemade tomato sauce, béchamel sauce with nutmeg, or just a drizzle of raw extra-virgin olive oil. Harmonizes with a green arugula salad with cherry tomatoes, natural juices, or green tea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Como fazer para a panqueca não quebrar ao virar na frigideira?

Aguarde a base firmar e dourar completamente por 3 minutos; solte as bordas com espátula fina antes de virar.

Is the batter thicker than regular pancake batter?

Yes, due to the presence of ricotta and spinach leaves, it resembles a rustic American pancake batter.

Can I blend the ricotta and spinach in a food processor with the batter?

Yes, blending everything in the blender will make the batter totally green and homogeneous instead of chunky.

Can I use raw spinach directly in the dough?

It is not recommended; raw spinach releases a lot of water when cooking in the skillet and leaves a rough texture.
