OT: Ricotta and Banana Pancakes recipe

For Bananas:
2 tblspns all purpose flour
1 tblspn sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 bananas cut into pieces
1 tblspn butter

For pancakes:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tblspn baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, separated
1 cup ricotta cheese
2/3 cup milk
2 tblspns sugar
unsalted butter for cooking

To Make:
For Bananas:
In a small bowl combine flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Dredge bananas in mixture and shake off excess. In frying pan over medium heat, melt butter. When butter foams, add bananas and fry crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and drain.

For Pancakes:
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl whisk yolks, ricotta and milk. Stir egg mixture into flour. In a bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat egg whites and sugar into stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the ricotta mixture.

Heat griddle over medium-high. Add 2 teaspoons butter. When butter foams, pour 2 tablespoons of batter onto griddle about 3 inches in diameter and spaced one inch apart. Cook until bottoms are golden about 1-2 minutes. Turn over.... (you get this idea I think)

Spoon bananas over the pancakes and serve.
