List of Ingredients
1 cup ricotta cheese
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
3 egg whites
1 1/2 cups cooked wild rice
Recipe
In medium bowl, beat ricotta with egg yolks, sugar and salt until smooth. Stir in butter, lemon peel and whole wheat flour. In small bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer or wire whisk until they hold soft peaks; fold in ricotta mixture. Gently fold in rice. Heat griddle or large skillet over high heat, then lower heat to medium high. Drop batter into small cakes and smooth them out with the back of a spoon to make circles about 3" - 4" in diameter. Cook until browned on the bottom, about two minutes, then flip and cook the other side, about two minutes longer. Serve with honey or syrup, a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
Makes 8 fritters.
