Ingredients
1 stick butter for griddle
1 large firm apple, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon apple pie spice (or pumpkin pie spice)
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
3 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese
Step by step
Preheat the Griddle on your KitchenAid® Gas Rangetop to 350°F. In the smallest bowl from your KitchenAid® Ceramic 3-Piece Nesting Mixing Bowl Set, mix the ricotta cheese, milk, and eggs until smooth. Peel the apple and slice into thin wedges using your KitchenAid® Santoku Knife.
In a large bowl from your Ceramic 3-Piece Nesting Mixing Bowl Set, mix all the dry ingredients. Then whisk the ricotta mixture into the dry mixture.
Once the Griddle is hot, rub the stick of butter over the surface. Then use a 1/4 cup scoop to measure out the pancake batter. Place several scoops of batter on the Griddle at once. Then lay 5-6 thin apple slices over the top of each pancake.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the bottom looks golden. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook another 3-4 minutes. Remove to plates, butter the Griddle, and repeat.
Serve warm with maple syrup.
