  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

– 3 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar

– 2 teaspoons baking powder

– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1 cup milk

– 3/4 cup ricotta cheese

– 3 large eggs

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

– 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

1-Getting started with lemon ricotta pancakes: Getting started with lemon ricotta pancakes is straightforward and fun, taking just about 10 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook for a total of 25 minutes. Begin by preheating an electric griddle to moderately-high heat or using a non-stick skillet over medium heat for even cooking. This step ensures your pancakes turn out golden and fluffy every time.

2-In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for about 20 seconds to blend the dry ingredients perfectly. Create a well in the center to make pouring the wet mixture easier. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, ricotta cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended, then add the melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice, stirring until everything combines smoothly.

3-Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined don’t overmix for the best fluffy results. Scoop 1/3 cup of batter onto your greased griddle or skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface and the underside is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until it’s golden brown, then serve warm for a delicious meal.
