Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt until well combined.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Fold in 1 cup diced fresh strawberries.
  4. Step 4: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.
  5. Step 5: Serve the pancakes stacked and drizzle each serving with 1 tbsp honey.

Frequently asked questions

How do I store leftover Strawberry-Ricotta Pancakes with Honey Drizzle?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep all-purpose flour from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Strawberry-Ricotta Pancakes with Honey Drizzle?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Strawberry-Ricotta Pancakes with Honey Drizzle for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
