Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, sugar and salt into a bowl.
2 cups self-raising flour, 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda, 1 1/2 tablespoons caster sugar, pinch sea salt
In another bowl, combine all the wet ingredients – ricotta, milk, vanilla extract, beaten egg, melted butter – and mix well. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and gradually whisk in the wet ingredients little by little until a smooth batter is formed.
250 g ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 2 eggs, 50 g butter
Heat a heavy based, non-stick frying pan and add a teaspoon of butter to the pan, along with a drizzle of olive oil (this will ensure the butter doesn’t burn). Add two ladles of pancake batter to the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes or until you see bubbles appearing, then flip over and cook for another 3 minutes. Set aside and continue with the rest of the batter.
50 g butter, extra virgin olive oil
Let the pancakes cool a little before serving, so that the yoghurt doesn’t melt. Layer each pancake with a tablespoon of coconut yoghurt until you get to the top (you can do every second layer if you don’t want too much yoghurt). At the top, place a dollop of coconut yoghurt in the centre and top with some fresh berries, mint leaves and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Mum will love them!
