"Bills" is said to be the best breakfast in the world and has been the driving force behind the pancake boom. I would be happy if I could taste the "bills" signboard menu "ricotta pancakes" at home.

The characteristic of ricotta pancakes is that they melt in the mouth. The secret, as the name suggests, should be in "ricotta cheese". It's hard to reproduce perfectly, but if you eat pancakes with homemade ricotta cheese, you may feel like bills at home. With such a faint expectation, I tried to make ricotta cheese by hand.

■ I put ricotta cheese on pancakes and ate it

The fluffy texture of ricotta cheese is added to the pancakes on the market, and just by putting them on, the pancakes are a little richer than usual. The taste itself has no peculiarity, and the sourness of lemon is not so much felt. At bills, bananas are topped, but it seems to go well with sour fruits such as berries and citrus fruits. Considering that you'll be lining up for hours at bills, it might be worth a try.

■ Actually ...

Ricotta cheese should be easy to make with the ingredients you always have at home, as long as you buy fresh cream. However, it seems that it may not harden well depending on the amount of lemon juice and the heating time. In fact, even in the editorial department, it was necessary to make several trials before making ricotta cheese that was convincing. You may want to try a small amount until you get the hang of it.

Once you can make it, you can use it not only for pancakes but also for Italian salads and omelets. Why don't you make it when you want to easily enjoy the best breakfast in the world.
