Introduction
My husband and I raise honeybees and with honey in the pantry that means I need to find ways to cook with it. I found this recipe on Pinterest via the website Cook Me Greek. http://cookmegreek.blogspot.gr/2012/12/melopita-honey-pie-from-sifnos-island.html My husband and I raise honeybees and with honey in the pantry that means I need to find ways to cook with it.

Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
-
600 grams Ricotta Cheese, whole milk
150 grams Honey
3 large Egg, fresh, whole, raw
15 grams Cornstarch
.5 tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla Extract (or extract of your choice)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180° C (355° F).
In a bowl mix all ingredients with a whisk wire or just a fork, until completely incorporated.*
Brush a 20 cm (8 inch) baking pan with oil or butter and pour the Melópita batter in. ALTERNATIVE: If you'd like smaller servings, prepare a 12-count muffin tin.
Bake for 40 min or until golden. ALTERNATIVE: Check at 20 minutes if using a muffin pan.
Serve Melópita warm or at room temperature drizzled with honey and dusted with cinnamon.
*Mixing in a blender produced a much smoother finished product and after a few times making this, the blender version was preferred.
Notes:
-This recipe works equally well with part-skim ricotta, half ricotta and half cottage cheese.
-This recipe is "basic" in that you can vary the flavors by using different extracts and/or toppings.
Serving Size: Makes 6 generous servings, or 12 small servings
