Put all the batter ingredients
in a large mixing bowl with 375ml warm water and a pinch
of salt and whisk to combine. Cover loosely and leave to
rise for 45 mins or overnight.
-
Meanwhile, make the syrup.
Heat the sugar, 125ml water and the orange blossom water
in a small pan over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 mins.
Increase the heat and boil for
about 10 ruins until the mixture reaches a syrupy
consistency. Transfer 10 a small bowl and leave to cool.
-
Heat a non-stick frying pan on
a medium high heat, melt 1 tsp of butter and when it's hot
add a small ladleful of batter. Cook for 3 - 4mins until
the surface has lots of bubbles,. Transfer to kitchen
paper and repeat with the rest of the batter, making 12 -
15 pancakes. Set aside, but don't stack them as they may
stick.
-
Mix the ricotta with 3 tbsp of
the cooled syrup. Hold one pancake in the palm of your
hand and dollop 1 tbsp of the ricotta mix in the centre.
Bring the edges of the pancake together and press firmly
along the edges to seal until you reach the centre,
leaving half the pancake open. Sprinkle the pistachios on
the exposed filling and set aside. Repeat with the
remaining pancakes and serve with the remaining syrup on
the side.
