mamasheenasLeave a comment

You’ll need:

4 eggs

2 tbsp almond four

1/4 tsp lemon extract

1 tbsp sweetener

4 tbsp ricotta cheese

1 tsp baking powder

First you must separate the eggs. The yolks in one bowl and whites in another. With a mixer, beat egg whites until they form a peek about 3-6 minutes. Make sure they are nice and firm, then add in your sweetener and lemon extract.

In other bowl with yolks add ricotta cheese, baking powder and almond flour. Beat with beater to mix and then gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Try not to break the whites when folding in the yolks.

In low heat in pan spray with cooking spray so it doesn’t stick (do this each time) add fluffy batter to heated pan don’t over heat or it will burn. You want a good warm pan to cook but not to hot. Cover pan after batter is added and leave covered for 40-60 seconds. Lift and check if it is ready to be flipped. Should be firm enough to not fall apart. Flip and cook other side about same time, remove and set onto plate. Repeat until batter is gone. Should made 6 good size pancakes! Top with your choices of toppings I use whipped cream, berries and sugar free syrup! enjoy!!!

Raspberry & Lemon Ricotta bruschetta

mamasheenasLeave a comment

You’ll need:

1 fresh baguette slice

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 tsp lemon extract

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp lemon zest

Fresh mint leaves

2 cup frozen raspberries

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (for raspberries)

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (for glaze)

1 tbsp sugar

In a bowl mix raspberries, 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp sugar (If you want sweet add a little more, I like tart so a tbsp was plenty) In a kettle on medium high heat, bring to a boil and stir continually until until the sauce begins to reduce and thicken. Remove from heat and let cook completely. It will thicken as cools also. Should be about a 10 minute process of heating and reducing. Rinse out kettle and pour in the other 1/4 cup vinegar, bring to a boil stirring continuously, let reduce by half and until it form as a glaze texture. Remove from heat and let cook in small bowl.

In a separate bowl add in ricotta cheese, lemon extract and vanilla extract, mix well and set aside.

Slice baguette into pieces and toast at 425 for 3-5 minutes until they crunch up and brown just a tiny bit.

To assemble. Take the sliced roast and spread a good amount of the ricotta mixture in top then spoon on a little of the raspberry sauce. Top with a fresh mint leaf you can chop so it is in tiny pieces but I loved how the leaf looked in top. Next zest lemon over the top and then either drizzle the balsamic glaze over top or put one nice size drop in middle of the toast. Sprinkle the tray with fresh raspberries, lemon zest and balsamic glaze! Enjoy! (Served 8-10 guests, 3 bite size pieces)

Add but pour into flour mixture then began to mix and add milk one cup at a time. Mix until forms batter. The batter will look a little lumpy and you will be able to see small chunks of butter thats fine, when the cakes cook the butter melts and gives it a great texture and flavor. Heat griddle to 350 and then add spoonfuls of batter to griddle, let cook on side until small tiny bubbles form all over the top of cake, then flip and cook another minute or so to cook other side. Top with butter maple syrup, fresh blueberries and a lemon peal for garnish! Enjoy! Makes about 12 medium cakes.
