Dla chcacego nic trudnego

Do trzech razy sztuka

It's a very popular saying!

Don't give up, try one more time!

And if you care about something a lot,

forget about the saying... ;-)

Ricotta pancakes with almond flavor (or without)

Nice for a change.
This ricotta pancakes (like all possible pancakes) are on the top of my breakfast/dessert list.
Serve them with blueberry/strawberry syrup, jam, maple syrup or with sugar only.

Ricotta pancakes with almond flavor:
Yield: 18 small pancakes
Ingredients:
1 container (425 g) ricotta cheese,
4 eggs, yolks and whites separated,
1-2 Tbsp sugar,
10 Tbsp flour,
1 tsp almond extract (or vanilla),
1 packet (16 g) almond sugar,
your favorite toppings.

Almond sugar. Thank you Mamus :o)

1. Beat egg whites until stiff.
2. In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg yolks, sugar, almond sugar and almond extract.
3. Add flour and egg whites to the ricotta cheese mixture and mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.
4. Place full tablespoons of batter on the greased skillet. Fry until golden on both sides (I usually flip pancakes 3 times and flatten them with spatula).
5. Serve with favorite toppings.

Smacznego!

May...
Many people say that May is the most beautiful month of the year - "Maj jest najpiękniejszym miesiącem roku". And I agree...
I love May - "Kocham maj"!! :o)
Sunny days, green grass, blooming trees and flowers - everything (and everyone) is waking up after long winter.
People enjoy outdoors and take short weekend trips, that in Poland are called majowka.
Active or lazy, it doesn't matter - what matters is being close to the nature's beauty!


Enjoying spring with my camera ;-)

Minnesota truly reflects four seasons that I experienced in Poland.
This place feels so homey to me.
And spring gives me the biggest kick of all :o)
Every little thing, that I find similar to life in Poland, is exciting!
Lots of trees and lakes, birds singing all day long and laying eggs in our flowers, lilac...
I adore it!

A few days ago, I snapped a photo of baby lilac next to our house - it should bloom in a month or so...
Can't wait!


Little baby lilac.
