Sometimes missing the main ingredient for a dish leads to something even better. That was the case with these pancakes. I woke up one Saturday morning with a craving for buttermilk pancakes but no buttermilk. In the dark recesses of the refrigerator I did have some ricotta cheese that needed to be used, so I decided to substitute the buttermilk with ricotta. But you know how it goes; once you substitute one ingredient it opens the recipe up for substituting other ingredients. Eventually you end up with a completely different recipe. Man, I’m glad I didn’t have any buttermilk!
