Ricotta Hotcake Recipe by Chef Pierrick Boyer
The Ricotta Hotcake by Chef Pierrick Boyer is a fluffy baked cake made with ricotta, milk, eggs, flour, and baking powder. The batter combines creamy ricotta and milk, blended smoothly with eggs and dry ingredients to form a thick batter cooked in a frypan then finished in the oven. Served topped with a sugar syrup, toasted nuts, fresh berries, and a chai-spiced whipped cream, this hotcake offers a balance of soft texture and layered nutty, fruity, and aromatic flavors.
