Preparation steps

1.

Separating eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff, mix egg yolks with sour cream, baking powder and 1 pinch of salt, stir in ground almonds. Carefully fold in water and beaten egg whites and let the batter swell for 10 minutes.

2.

In the meantime clean, wash and cut the spinach into strips. Peel and finely chop onion and garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan. Sauté both for 2 minutes at medium heat. Add the spinach and fry for 5 minutes. Then remove from the heat. Mix the ricotta with the spinach and season to taste with salt and pepper.

3.

Bake about 24 pancakes from the batter in the remaining oil in portions of about 5 minutes each. Place the pancakes on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, add the spinach mixture. Grate cheese and sprinkle over the pancakes.

4.

Bake the pancakes in a preheated oven at 180 °C/ 350 °F (convection 160 °C/325 °F) for 15 minutes. Wash the chillies, halve lengthwise, remove seeds and chop. Garnish the pancakes with the almonds.
