Method
1. For the honeycomb butter, put all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Shape into a log on cling film, roll, seal and chill in the fridge for 2 hours. (Store any leftover honeycomb butter in the freezer - it's great on toast.)2. For the ricotta hotcakes, mix the ricotta, milk and egg yolks in a large bowl. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until just combined.
3. Beat the egg whites in a clean dry bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites through the ricotta batter in two batches, with a large metal spoon. (At this stage the batter can be stored for up to 24 hours, covered with cling film in the fridge.)
4. Lightly grease a large non-stick frying pan with a small portion of the butter and drop 2 tablespoons of batter per hotcake into the pan (don't cook more than three per batch). Cook over a medium-low heat for 2 minutes, or until hotcakes have golden undersides. Turn and cook on the other side until golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
5. To serve, stack 3 hotcakes on a plate and top with strawberries and a slice of honeycomb butter. Dust with icing sugar.
