Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ¾ Cup Whole Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. In another bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, milk, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and grease lightly.
  6. Pour about a quarter-cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
  8. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Avoid over-mixing the batter to maintain fluffiness.
