Thanks for the comment, Ben! Yes, if you go to Sydney, Bill’s is a must! Wemoved back to the US about a year ago, but I still make these pancakes all the time!

I made these pancakes today. I’d made them before but lost the recipe and so found it here. I learned about these on a Rudy Maxa travel show last year when he went to Sydney and mentioned that one could get the recipe online, which I did, and they are every bit as good as you and he have described. Without a doubt, they are the fluffiest hotcakes I’ve ever tasted. Some day I’ll try them from Bill’s kitchen, but he’s 8000 miles away at the moment

Thanks for the comments!

Amanda-I have made cottage cheese pancakes, too, and they are great! That recipe was quite similar, actually, and I bet that here the two cheeses could be used interchangeably.

lior–Thanks for reading, and I appreciate your input. I know that some people like the captions, and some aren’t into it. I’ve used the titles since I started posting, so I’ve kind of just gone with it ever since.

Tammy–I also have all his books! How fun to have met him! I’ve seen him twice at his restaurants (once he was with two of his cute little girls).

They look so good! I have all Bill’s books and when i went to Sydney visiting Bill’s was at the top of my to do list! I actually met him when i was helping at a cooking class he taught a few years ago and he was just as nice in person as you would think he would be!

Ricotta in baked goods is heavenly! It gives such a nice tarty flavor, as opposed to sour cream which produces a thick but overall flavorless batter. Have you made pancakes with cottage cheese? Those are really good too! So long as you don’t mind having little curds in the pancakes. I personally like that but some people get freaked out about that though

Hi, I really enjoy your blog and it’s very comfortable in the middle of my google reader cooking/baking feeds .

I just wanted to offer my opinion that the title you add to the first photo in each post detracts from the photograph which is always very well done. Maybe its just my personal opinion, but I don’t like captions on photos.

In any case great blog! lior
