Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese whole milk ricotta preferred
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest about 2 lemons
  • 0.25 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for cooking

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add ricotta, milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
  • Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve warm with maple syrup or fresh berries.

Notes

Adjust the thickness of the batter with a little milk if needed. Add more lemon zest for a tangier flavor.
