8. A Romantic Breakfast Treat

Wake your partner with the seductive scent of this simple recipe.

Ricotta-Cottage Cheese Pancakes
>From Breakfast in Bed by Jesse Ziff Cool, HarperCollins, 1997
Adapted by StarChefs

Yield: 2-4 servings

Ingredients:
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 eggs
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil

To prepare pancakes:
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. In another 
bowl, beat the eggs with the ricotta, cottage cheese, milk, and vanilla. Gradually 
add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring just until blended. Do not overmix. 

Heat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat, and lightly grease it with 
vegetable oil. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Drop the batter onto the hot pan by 
heaping Tablespoonfuls. When the pancakes are bubbly on top and nicely browned on 
the bottom, flip them. As they cook through, transfer them to a baking sheet and 
keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the batter.

Serving suggestions:
Top pancakes with fresh fruit, dried fruit, or fruit compote.
