1/3 cup Sugar

2 tsp. Orange Zest, grated

2 tbsp. Orange Juice

2/3 cups All-Purpose Flour

2 large Fresh Eggs

4 tbsp. Unsalted Butter, divided

Directions:

In a medium bowl, whisk together ricotta, sugar, zest, juice, flour and eggs until smooth.  Melt 1 tbsp. butter in skillet or on grill plate over medium-low heat.  Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake into skillet.  Cook about 4 minutes per side.  Remove and keep warm while repeat process until all the batter has been used.  Serve with additional butter and your favorite pancake toppings.

Notes:              Try adding “Maple-Infused Orange Slices” between each pancake.  Use 4 oranges and slice off bottom and top and then slice off the peel from the sides.  After this slice each orange into about 5 slices depending on size.  Place all the slices in a microwave safe dish and top with a mixture of 2 tbsp. orange juice, 2 tbsp. lemon juice, ¼ tsp. sugar and ¼ cup real maple syrup.  Warm mixture for 15-30 seconds in microwave.  Insert the slices and drizzle with some of the juices.
