Ricotta Pancakes with Marinated Blood Oranges

***  
Pancake Day is only just a round the corner so we thought it about time we included a recipe from the AFT Kitchen to try on the day.
These pancakes are perhaps a little different from the usual in that they contain ricotta cheese and the way they are prepared produces a very light and fluffy result.

Taking inspiration from the traditional citrus accompaniment and crepe suzette we chose to serve them with marinated oranges. We managed to pick up some delicious blood oranges which are not only gloriously coloured but also have a good intense tangy flavour.
We enhanced the flavours further with the addition of Orange & Mace Vinegar from Womersley Fruit & Herb Vinegars which gave a little fragrant spiciness.

Ricotta, Lemon & Raisin Tart

***  
With added flavours of fresh lemon, warming nutmeg and rich fruity raisins, the tart is a real treat. Being very much like a baked cheesecake in texture crossed with the flavours of a traditional egg custard tart, there's something for everyone.

Please excuse us for not making our pastry but like many people these days we don't always have much time to spare. Besides it is possible buy very good quality sweet shortcrust pastry dough.
