Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter, for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
  2. In one bowl, whisk together ricotta, eggs, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and sugar.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Lightly grease the skillet with butter.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet and space them out.
  7. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form and edges look set.
  8. Flip gently and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  9. Serve warm with toppings like syrup, berries, or lemon curd.

Notes

  • Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and texture.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while finishing the batch.
