• Ingredients: 15
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup cornmeal, fine
• 1⁄4 cup water, boiling
• 2 cups flour
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 orange, zest of 1/2 orange here and 1/2 in syrup

• syrup

• 1 cup honey
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

directions

1. Pour boiling water over corn meal; they said corn flour. I just whirred corn meal in a food processor until finer flour.
2. Sift dry ingredients together.
3. Whisk together wet ingredients; add cornmeal, egg, milk, lemon juice.
4. Add to dry ingredients.
5. Add zest to ricotta (I used 1 teaspoon dried orange zest).
6. Fold in mixture.
7. Fry in silver dollar size pancakes with butter; they will stick easily and burn fast.
8. Meanwhile boil together syrup. The original recipe boiled a vanilla bean but I substituted vanilla in it; your choice. I just used honey and butter great stuff.
