Servings: persons

1 cup ricotta cheese
3/4 cup of flour (you might need 1-2 extra tablespoons depending on how wet your ricotta is)
1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons of milk
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon of orange zest
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 eggs, divided
Handful of chocolate chips

1
Set the ricotta in a fine mesh strainer about 30 minutes before you want to start cooking to drain off any excess liquid.
2
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl combine the ricotta, milk, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla, and egg yolks.
3
Beat the egg whites in an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Add the dry ingredients to the ricotta mixture, stirring gently until just combined. If the mixture is really runny add in the extra flour. Whisk in a third of the egg whites to lighten the batter, then fold in the remaining egg whites.
4
Heat a griddle over medium-high heat, and brush the surface with butter. Using a ladle or 1/4 measuring cup to pour the batter onto the griddle. Put a small amount of chocolate chips onto each pancake (I put 5 chocolate chips onto each pancake). Push the chocolate chips into the batter with the tip of a knife. Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown.
5
Serve hot with a cold glass of milk.
