Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes Simple Breakfast Delight
Ingredients
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0 as needed butter for cooking
- 0 as desired fresh berries
- 0 as desired maple syrup
- 0 as desired powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the ricotta mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the surface.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from heat and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
💡 Chef's Notes
Stack the pancakes high on a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and add a sprinkle of fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup for extra flavor. Enjoy with a slice of lemon on the side for an inviting, fresh look!
