Pancake day this month and a girl just loves chocolate and with rhubarb still in season this makes a great combination. I cant believe how fast my little girl is growing she seems such a big girl at 4 and half and it does not help seeing her up against Ella, she is just shooting up in front of my eyes and is so good in the kitchen now, so over to Sophie as she makes her lunch.
Ingredients
2 eggs
250g ricotta
125ml milk
100g flour
30g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
zest and juice of an orange
400g rhubarb
80g golden caster sugar
- mix the egg yolks,ricotta, milk, flour, cocoa, orange zest and baking powder
- whisk the egg white till they form peaks
- fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites
- cut the rhubarb in to small chunks and cook with the sugar and orange juice on a gentle simmer for 10 mins
- to cook the pancakes use a hot pan with a little oil and plop a big spoonfull onto the pan and spread out into a circle shape and allow to cook on one side before flipping over
Serve pancakes with a nice big spoon of rhubarb and how about a big dollop vanilla ice cream you can find a recipe for home made ice cream at the bottom of this post
