2.Meanwhile, place ricotta in second medium bowl and stir in icing sugar and vanilla. Place raspberries in third medium bowl and crush with fork. Lightly stir berries through ricotta to create rippled effect.

3.Heat frying pans over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter. Drop ladleful of batter into centre of pan and smooth out until 12cm in diameter. Cook for 2 mins until bubbles form on surface and underside is golden. Flip and cook for further 1 1/2 mins. Remove from pan, wipe with paper towel and repeat with remaining butter and batter.

4.Place 3 pancakes on each serving plate, top with dollop of raspberry ricotta and extra raspberries and drizzle with maple syrup.

You can substitute fresh raspberries for your choice of fresh or frozen berries. – You can’t go past a stack of golden pancakes. We suggest cooking them in two frying pans at the same time, but you can use just one. – Equipment: Sieve; whisk; 3 medium and 1large mixing bowls; sieve; fork; 2 frying pans; pastry brush; small ladle; spatula or egg flip; paper towel.
