    Saffron, Ricotta and Pea Pancakes {Gluten-Free}

    Published May 25, 2014

    delicious Saffron, Ricotta and Pea Pancakes {Gluten-Free}

    I have a bit of a brunch problem. I'm not talking about a Portlandia-style fixation, though brunch places in SF do tend to attract similar cult-like followings. Rather, and at the risk of sounding like a petulant and spoiled brat, I have trouble finding a brunch out and about that I can really get behind.

    top down shot of ingredients

    Many brunch offerings are flour-heavy (french toast, pancakes, waffles, sandwiches) and wheat doesn't always agree with me. I'm also somewhat picky about eggs, preferring them in things rather than featured in an omelette or frittata. That usually leaves me with salad, often the red-headed step-child of brunch menus, haphazardly thrown together with wilted greens and insipid dressing.

    Luckily, we live mere blocks from Plow, Mecca for brunch-seeking San Franciscans and boasting a varied, seasonal menu of everything from chia seed pudding to savory oats, crispy potatoes, and their signature ricotta pancakes

    peas being stirred

    I've known the owners, Joel and Maxine, for years, and they were kind enough to share their ricotta pancake recipe with me a while back. My gluten-free version is a favorite around these parts, especially topped with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

    lemon zest in a bowl

    At a recent dinner, I got the notion to turn those cakes savory by adding fresh peas and saffron to the mix. My dining companion Amelia suggested I saute a bit of shallot as well. I added lemon zest, chives, and Parmesan for extra flavor. The result? A new brunch-time favorite – little puffs of cheesy pancake love redolent with the beguiling flavors of saffron, sweet peas, and lemon against creamy ricotta. A drizzle of lemon juice and olive oil plus a few pinches of flaky salt and cracked black pepper bring these little guys to life. Give me a non-wilted side salad and a glass of wine, and I'm happy.

    peas in a bowl

    Bellwether's basket-dipped, whole-milk ricotta is good enough to eat plain. It comes in 12-ounce containers, but I can never stop myself from dipping into it with a spoon, thus a pancake recipe that only uses 8 ounces. I'm powerless in the face of good cheese. Lillie at Butter Me Up, Brooklyn! just posted a recipe with great step-by-step images for homemade ricotta that I'm eager to try next time.

    As I wrote up this post, I wondered whether ricotta pea pancakes had been made by other pea-lovers, and I was pleased to find a lovely article by my friend Ileana of A Little Saffron Would Make This! in the Tampa Bay Times. Her version looks exquisite, and I love that her blog's title references Ratatouille, the greatest movie of all time. Clearly we are two peas in a pod when it comes to delicious food (and animated rodents). Indeed a little saffron made these pancakes.

    Saffron, Ricotta and Pea Pancakes {Gluten-Free}

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    These savory pancakes are perfect for Spring!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 10 minutes
    Cook Time: 10 minutes
    Total: 20 minutes
    Servings: 12 (3-inch) pancakes (about 3 servings).

    Ingredients

    For the pancakes:

    • 2 small shallots, peeled and diced
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1/8 teaspoon loosely packed saffron threads
    • 1 cup shelled peas (from about 1 1/4 pounds English peas)
    • 8 ounces good-quality whole-milk ricotta (such as Bellwether Farm) (about 1 cup)
    • 2 large eggs, separated
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
    • zest of 1 lemon
    • 2 tablespoons sweet rice flour
    • 2 tablespoons millet flour
    • 1-2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)

    To finish the cakes:

    • a few tablespoons of ghee, coconut oil, or light olive oil for frying
    • lemon wedges
    • good olive oil
    • flaky salt and black pepper
    • snipped chives

    Instructions

    Make the batter:

    • In a wide skillet, heat the olive oil over a medium flame until it shimmers. Add the diced shallot, and crumble in the saffron threads. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot is tender, 5 minutes. Add the peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
    • Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, egg yolks, salt, Parmesan, lemon zest, and the sweet rice and millet flours in a large bowl, and stir to combine. Gently stir in the shallot/pea mixture and the chives until combined.
    • In a medium bowl with a balloon whisk (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachmenwhip the egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Stir 1/3 of the whipped whites into the batter to loosen it up, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.

    Cook the cakes:

    • Heat a wide skillet over a medium flame and add enough of the cooking oil of your choice (I like ghee the besto coat the bottom. When the oil shimmers, drop two or three 1/4-cup scoops of batter into the pan, spacing them well apart (a spring-loaded ice cream scoop works well for this). Cook until the first side is golden, 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook on the second side until golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove to a platter. (Optionally, place in a warm oven while you cook the rest). Repeat with the remaining batter.
    • Serve the cakes topped with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and sprinkle of flaky salt, black pepper, and snipped chives. Extras can be chilled and re-heated in a skillet.

    Notes

    Inspired by Plow's Ricotta Pancakes and Ileana's Ricotta Pea Pancakes.
    These cakes are all about the ricotta, so do get the good stuff (or make your own). Bellwether's basket-dipped whole milk ricotta is so good, I eat it by the spoonful.
    If gluten isn't an issue for you and your guests, feel free to use all-purpose flour in place of the sweet rice and millet. I'm guessing that any gluten-free all-purpose blend will work, too.
    A squeeze of lemon on these cakes really makes them pop.
    To minimize sticking when cooking the cakes, make sure the pan and oil are hot before adding the pancake batter, let the bottom get well-bronzed before flipping, and use a thin, metal spatula to turn the cakes.
    The batter can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated; cooked cakes also reheat well.
    Nutritional values are based on one of twelve pancakes.

      How lovely. I have a hard time getting behind most "brunches" too. I would much rather make my own brunch at home! These ricotta and pea pancakes look heavenly. Thank you for making me hungry for breakfast (despite it being 10pm!).

      Mmmm these look amazing Alanna!! I love brunch too, and have a similar problem to you as I'm vegetarian and usually the vegetarian options at brunch are either egg frittata and such (which I'm not a huge fan of) or completely uninteresting. These however, these little beauties would most definitely be welcome at my table!!

      I feel you on the lack of good brunch! I would kill for a real diner breakfast on Sunday morning, is all I'm saying. Lacking that, we go for the taqueria or the best Indian buffet in town. But! These pancakes sound like just about the best possible brunch at home. I love all those vegetables everywhere. And the salad! Salad is possibly the most underrated part of a good brunch.

Breakfast/brunch food is one of my favorites, but I never seem to eat it, I guess I need to fix that! The colors are so beautiful and these look so light and fresh. Those peas look amazing, I've never seen ones that look so good in my grocery store. Also, I love me some Portlandia :)

      Savory pancakes---actually you don't see that often. I lusted after the fresh peas. I haven't seen any of those yet. On the other hand I haven't gone to our Farmer's market the last couple of weeks. That could be the reason. Ricotta anything and pancake anything is a winner. But these really take the (pan)cake.

    Cherry recipe du jour because #cherryseason: roast Cherry recipe du jour because #cherryseason: roasted cherry ice cream sandwiches with GF double chocolate buckwheat cookies 😋

Here fresh cherries are roasted in sugar and bourbon, pitted and chopped, and mixed with more bourbon. This process releases water and condenses flavor, making a chunky compote that stays soft when frozen into a vanilla ice cream base. 

When sandwiched between these super-chocolatey cookies, the effect is downright addictive. And just the thing for the warm weather we’re currently having in California!☀️

Bojon appétit!

    Next up for 🍒 week: gluten-free cherry clafouti Next up for 🍒 week: gluten-free cherry clafoutis! 

This French baked custard studded with juicy cherries infused with brandy or whiskey sits somewhere between a dutch baby and a pudding cake. Fresh cherries meet vanilla scented almond flour batter in this easy peasy summer dessert. Bliss!

For dairy-free, replace the milk and cream with full-fat coconut milk and use vegan butter. 

Bojon appétit! 🍒

    It’s cherry season in California so I’m sharin It’s cherry season in California so I’m sharing a few favorite ways to use them from TBG this week. 🍒

Up first: tart cherry Eton mess with poppyseed almond meringues

These lightly caramelized meringues have a delightful crunch against tangy whipped yogurt and tart cherry compote. Pretty much my dream dessert right here! 

Use sweet cherries if sour cherries aren’t available. Use rich coconut yogurt instead of dairy to make this DF.

    Sharing the recipe for these GF almond flour madel Sharing the recipe for these GF almond flour madeleines today in honor of my mom Madeline! 
*sponsored

These look fancy, but they're actually super simple to make with vanilla-flecked brown butter and a trio of @bobsredmill GF flours that work together to create a dreamy texture. Warm from the oven, these are crispy on the outside with tender middles bursting with butterscotch notes. 

Whip up a batch in under an hour to feel like you just stepped into a posh Parisian patisserie.

    Sharing this green goddess potato salad in honor o Sharing this green goddess potato salad in honor of #earthday (which is literally every day because this is where most of us spend every second of our lives!) 

At the start of the pandemic, Jay and I started going hiking and forest bathing every week. We always pack lots of snacks and take plenty of time to immerse ourselves in our surroundings. We often spend hours sitting on a blanket, watching the birds and lizards, the way the light plays off of the water, listening to the sound of the breeze and birdsong. I guess it’s actually closer to extreme picnicking than hiking! 

This herbaceous potato salad is one of our favorite lunches to pack. It has protein from jammy boiled eggs, crunchy veggies, creamy potatoes, and a kicky dressing. 

Throw some in a to-go container packed in a cooler and you’ll have a nourishing meal anywhere you like. 

Enjoy this beautiful planet! 🌏🌲🍃
