"Ricotta-style pancakes" recipe

I found a way to reproduce the deliciousness of ricotta cheese pancakes eaten at a cafe at home. Add drained yogurt to the pancake mix and bake! You can make amazingly delicious pancakes with just a little effort.

● Materials

Click here for what to prepare. Based on the recipe of the Meiji era, the flour is used as a substitute for the pancake mix.

Hot cake mix 120g (4.23oz)
Plain yogurt 400g (14.11oz) * When drained, it will be about 180-200g (7.05oz) 2 eggs 1 tablespoon sugar
Milk 100ml (3.38us fl oz)
Appropriate amount of butter

● How to make

As a preliminary preparation, drain the yogurt. Pour the yogurt into a colander lined with kitchen paper (a clean cloth is OK), wrap it, and leave it in the refrigerator for a while. If possible, overnight, if you don't have time, 3-4 hours.


Separate the yolk and white. Put egg yolk and milk in a bowl, mix well, and add drained yogurt.



Put egg whites and sugar in another bowl and whisk. Obviously this is the crucial moment for this recipe, so do your best! It's OK if you whisk enough to draw a loose line!


Put the pancake mix in a bowl of egg yolk and mix it with a rubber spatula while breaking the yogurt.


Add the egg white bowl to the egg yolk bowl in two portions and mix. This completes the dough. The goal is close!



Pour the dough into a frying pan with butter and bake it on both sides over low to medium heat to prevent it from burning.

● What is the taste?

Wait a minute and it's really delicious ... Who made this? With a fluffy mouthfeel, it melts when chewed, and the richness and umami of the sticky milk wraps your tongue. What a moist and plump mouthfeel ...! To be honest, I don't think I'm losing to the pancakes in the store.


It has a slight acidity in the aftertaste, but it is more like cheese than yogurt. You can add ice cream or jam, but it's really delicious just to eat as it is! If you want to master your home pancakes, please try it!
