The Method

1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Jersey milk, eggs, ricotta cheese, melted Jersey butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4
Heat a lightly greased griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Use Jersey butter for greasing the pan if you have it.
5
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each hotcake.
6
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.
7
Serve immediately topped with fresh Jersey blackberries and drizzled with maple syrup.

Chef's Tips

For extra fluffy hotcakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.

Don't overcrowd the griddle; cook the hotcakes in batches to ensure even cooking.

To keep the hotcakes warm while cooking the rest, place them on a baking sheet in a warm oven (200°F/95°C).

For a more complex flavour, try adding a zest of lemon or orange to the batter
