Chef notes
These pancakes are moist, creamy and delicious! The cranberry sauce [**LINK Orange and Walnut Cranberry Sauce LINK**] adds such a nice compliment to the creaminess of the ricotta.
Technique tip: To make the cranberry sauce less thick, warm it up in a sauce pan with a little water. If your batter is too thick, add milk to loosen it up a bit.
Swap option: You can swap in gluten-free flour.
