Method

step 1
To make the whipped butter put all the ingredients in a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until pale.
step 2
To make the pancakes, sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl with a large pinch of salt. Whisk the ricotta, milk and egg yolks. In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites until they form firm peaks.
step 3
Gradually whisk the ricotta mix into the flour mix until it becomes a smooth batter. Fold in the egg whites, trying to keep in as much air as possible.

Heat some butter in a large non-stick pan. Cook large spoonfuls of the batter until golden on both sides. Serve topped with the whipped butter and another drizzle of honey.
