Place carrot into the Thermomix bowl and grate 7 sec/speed 7.
Add egg and milk, spices and vanilla. Blend 10 sec/speed 8.
Add flour and salt and blend 8 sec/speed 8 while you add melted butter through hole in the lid.
Preheat a light coloured frying pan to a medium heat and melt a dob of butter to cook each pancake. Pour in 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the heated pan and cook both sides. Stack and keep hot until ready to serve.
To make the topping, combine all ingredients but pecans and orange zest, in a bowl with a spatula. Over whipping the ricotta will make it runny.
Serve topping between pancakes and on top, drizzle with additional honey or maple syrup, garnish with toasted pecans and grated orange zest.
