Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100g
• Eggs - 2 large
• Unsweetened almond milk - 150ml
• Baking powder - 1 tsp
• Erythritol - 2 tbsp
• Salt - a pinch
• Ricotta cheese - 100g
• Chopped pistachios - 20g
• Rose water - 1 tsp
• Coconut oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix almond flour, eggs, almond milk, baking powder, erythritol, and salt until a smooth batter forms.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
3. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet to form small pancakes, and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat until all batter is used.
4. In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, chopped pistachios, and rose water for the filling.
5. Take one pancake, place a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture in the center, and fold the pancake over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal.
6. Repeat with remaining pancakes and filling.
7. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with additional rose water or sprinkled with extra pistachios.
