Mmmm thanks Bluemoon! I had these for dessert with the last of my riesling ( glass, not bottle - come on! ) and they are delicious little fluffy pikelets of ricotta. I think your idea of adding nuts is good, I reckon they'd be better with a texture contrast. The only other change I could make would be to reduce or skip the sugar and just use honey to sweeten. Overall, a cheap foolproof dessert/breakfast that everyone will like!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
