Tall, light, and creamyJanuary 25, 2009By uttfamly
"I found this recipe to be wonderful for using up some ingredients, like ricotta after making cheesecake. The pancakes are light, creamy, and flavorful. I used extra-large eggs and perhaps that made a difference. The pancakes are ""tall"" (reminiscent of crumpets) and were a beautiful golden color. I plan to make them again with fresh cherries and some slivered almond when cherries come into season."
