Description

A delightful twist on traditional pancakes, light and airy with a burst of lemon flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until combined.
  3. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form (2-3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown (1-2 minutes).
  6. Serve warm with toppings of your choice.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and ricotta. Avoid over-mixing the batter.
