Description

Fluffy pancakes infused with zesty lemon and creamy ricotta, perfect for starting your day with a touch of sweetness.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or Whole Wheat)
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 cup Milk (whole or almond)
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, lemon juice, and milk. Whisk until smooth. Add in lemon zest.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Flip when bubbles begin to form.
  6. Cook until golden brown on both sides and serve immediately with syrup and fresh fruit.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Adjust skillet heat to prevent burning.
