To make the pancake batter, in a bowl, mash the banana with a fork. Add the egg yolks, sugar, buttermilk and ricotta. Mix well. Fold in the sifted flour and baking powder to combine.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold through the banana mixture.
Over a medium heat, heat a large non-stick frying pan with a little butter. Once the butter has melted, cook 2 tablespoons of the mixture, in batches, for 2–3 minutes each side or until puffed and golden.
Stack 4–5 pancakes on each plate. Top with extra ricotta, raspberries, pistachios and a drizzle of honey.
