How to Make Mini Orange Poppy Seed Pancakes

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds. Make a well in the center.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 large egg yolk, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and the zest of 1 orange. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons more milk.
  3. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Lightly brush with 1 tablespoon of butter, wiping away any excess with a paper towel.
  4. For each pancake, spoon 1 tablespoon of batter onto the hot pan. Cook for 1-1 ½ minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer cooked pancakes to a heatproof plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  5. In a small bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together 8 ounces ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons honey, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
  6. Serve the mini pancakes topped with the ricotta cream, orange segments (from about ½ orange), and a drizzle of extra honey.
