Cheese Latkes with Fruit Topping

Ingredients

4 eggs
425g (15 oz) ricotta cheese
80ml (1/3 cup) plain flour
60ml (1/4 cup) sugar
5ml (1 tsp) baking powder
30ml (2 tbsp) oil
10ml (2 tsp) vanilla essence
250ml (1 cup) plain yogurt
250ml (1 cup) sliced banana, berries or other fruit

Method

• Combine eggs, flour, sugar, baking powder, cheese and vanilla essence, in a medium bowl with a wire whisk. Beat until smooth and well blended.

• Heat a nonstick griddle or large skillet to 160C (325F). Lightly oil the griddle and pour just enough batter onto the griddle so that it spreads to form 3-inch pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on tops, and the bottoms turn golden brown then flip and brown other side.

• Place the finished pancakes on an ovenproof platter and keep warm in a 120C (250F) oven. Oil the griddle again and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm pancakes with yogurt and fruit. A deliciously tasty treat perfect with any main meal or even for brunch or supper.
