Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Combine wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Use a whisk to mix until the ingredients are well blended and creamy.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Merge the mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Heat the skillet: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Pour a scoop of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  6. Serve them up: Transfer the pancakes to a plate, repeat cooking with remaining batter, and serve warm with maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, separate the egg whites and yolks, beat the whites, and fold them into the batter. You can also add blueberries or chocolate chips for a fun twist.
