| 2 | teaspoons | Grated orange rind |
| 3 | tablespoons | Honey or less |

Directions
These are a real treat for a leisurely weekend breakfast-beautiful and very tasty. Four pancakes are stacked with layers of ricotta cheese between them. A warm sauce with fresh orange sections is poured overall.
The pancake stack is served in wedges. See MM#54 for the orange sauce recipe.
To Make The Pancakes: Combine flour, baking powder and orange rind. In a separate bowl combine egg white, honey, milk, orange juice and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just enough to moisten. Bake four large pancakes on a lightly oiled griddle.
To Assemble: Spread ⅓-½ cup ricotta cheese between each pancake and pour half the orange sauce over the top. Cut into wedges and pour sauce over individual wedges. Makes 6 servings.
