Ricotta and rosemary hotcakes with maple peaches recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1 cup (250g) milk
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) self-raising flour, sifted
  • 2 tsp finely chopped rosemary leaves
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) maple syrup, plus extra to serve
  • 350g fresh ricotta
  • 80g unsalted butter
  • Creme fraiche, to serve

Maple roasted peaches

  • 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • 3 peaches, quartered

Spiced seeds

  • 1/4 cup (40g) each sunflower seeds
  • and pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1/2 tsp whole cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 star anise

Method

  • Preheat oven to 200°C. For the maple peaches, drizzle the maple syrup over a baking tray and add the peaches, cut-side down. Roast for 30 minutes or until softened and lightly caramelised.
  • Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • For the seeds, place all the ingredients in a dry saucepan over medium heat and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  • Combine the egg yolks, milk, flour, rosemary, maple syrup and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Fold in the ricotta, leaving a few bigger pieces. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks.
  • Fold one-third egg whites through the batter to loosen, then fold remaining egg whites through the batter to combine. Set aside for 20 minutes to rest.
  • In batches, melt 1 tbs butter in a large non-stick frypan over medium-low heat, swirling to coat the pan. Spoon 1/3 cup batter per hotcake into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes each side until golden and uffy. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Repeat with remaining butter and hotcakes.
  • Serve the hotcakes stacked with peaches, seeds, extra maple syrup and creme fraiche on the side.
