So here is my first task. I know that I've been blowing Martha off but I need to buy a lot of stuff for her lessons and the point is not to stray from the recipe. Plus doesn't "Ricotta Filled Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce" sound amazing?
I tend to stock up on frozen berries so I thought for a few seconds if I wanted to sub the blueberries for blackberries. I decided against it since I bought the blackberries for Mojitos that I haven't tried to make yet and because a mojito needs sugar cane in it and I don't know where to buy that yet. I think I might need to take mom shopping so we can check out a few of the huge markets I heard about.
Anyway, you start off with making the sauce. I made a very small portion since it was me and did it to taste but I'll estimate my ingredients. I can't believe that I used to be nervous about zesting. I think that I thought that I would go to far into the rind. Shows what a little practice can do.
Sauce:
1/4 cup frozen blueberry
T honey
orange zest and splash of orange juice
Filling:
Ricotta cheese
Orange Zest
T Honey
Pancakes:
I made the smallest Bisquick which was half the standard pancake recipe.
So I spooned some batter into the muffin pan and topped it with the cheese mixture.
When you cover it with some more batter and pop it into the oven.I wasn't very happy with how mine came out. It was very cakey and I really needed to use more cheese. Here is what my final looked like, not very appetizing but now I know for next time.
