Description
Delicious pancakes shaped like a snowman, perfect for a festive breakfast!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Butter, for cooking
- To make the snowman: pretzel sticks, raisins, carrot, and powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, ricotta, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- In another medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. Add it to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium low heat, then add a bit of butter to coat. Scoop out 1/4 cup portions of batter and cook the pancakes until golden brown on one side, adjusting the heat so it doesn’t brown too fast.
- Flip and cook until cooked through and no longer gooey at the edges (the batter may ooze out a bit at the sides; just keep cooking until it is fully cooked, adjusting the heat as necessary so it doesn’t brown too fast).
- Place the pancakes in a stack under an overturned bowl, and cook the second batch of pancakes.
- To assemble the snowman: lay out three circle pancakes on a platter or plate. Dust with powdered sugar. Use raisins to make eyes and buttons, cut a carrot into a triangle for a nose, and use pretzel sticks for arms.
Notes
- Make sure to adjust the heat while cooking to prevent burning.
- Feel free to customize decorations for the snowman with your favorite toppings!
