What you need
Large saucepan
Large mixing bowl
Large fry pan
Optional: pancake dispenser
Ingredients
For the sage caramel (makes 2/3 cup):
1/2 cup sugar
⅔ cup thickened cream
4 tablespoons butter
Pinch of sea salt
5-8 sage leaves, chopped
For the pancakes (makes 10 small pancakes):
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3- 1/2 cup sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Nob of butter for frying the pancakes
Method
To make the sage caramel: in a large saucepan over medium heat, sprinkle the sugar and melt it shaking and swirling the pot. Do not stir. Once it has all melted and reached a light -medium brown colour, pour in half of the cream stirring quickly with a whisk, and once the foaming has subsided add the rest of the cream, butter, salt and sage leaves. Leave for sage to infuse for few minutes, then pick out using tongs.
To make the pancakes: Whisk the wet ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Add the dry ingredients and combine.
In the fry pan, heat up some butter and dispense batter using a pancake dispenser or ladle. Cook until bubbles on top begin to pop and bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown.
To serve: serve ricotta pancakes with a dusting of icing sugar and a good drizzle of sage caramel.
Storage
Caramel will keep for up to 2 weeks.
