Method
Step 1
To make the honey and lemon syrup, place the honey and 1/2 cup (125ml) water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until honey dissolves. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-6 mins or until syrup thickens slightly. Stir in the lemon juice and thyme leaves. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
Use an electric mixer to beat the ricotta, cream and lemon zest in a bowl until smooth. Place in a small piping bag fitting with a 2cm plain nozzle.
Step 3
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Heat the pikelets for 20 secs each side or until soft and pliable.
Step 4
Pipe ricotta filling into the centre of each pikelet. Carefully fold to enclose filling, gently pinching halfway along the edge to seal, leaving 1 end open. Dip the open end in pistachio to coat ricotta filling. Arrange pikelets on a serving platter. (Alternatively, divide pikelets among serving plates and top with ricotta filling and pistachio). Drizzle with the honey and lemon syrup to serve.
