Buttermilk-ricotta pancakes with tipsy maple apricots and pistachios

Pancakes American cuisine

I love the taste of bourbon, and I thought a combination of bourbon, maple syrup, and apricots could enhance any sweet breakfast preparation, whether French Toast or pancakes. For this recipe, I combined this syrup with fat ricotta pancakes. The basic recipe is the buttermilk pancake from Joy of Cooking. I added ricotta and a little orange zest to complement but not overpower the syrup. A generous garnish of pistachio nuts modifies the sweetness, and gives a pleasant texture-and color contrast to this preparation.
