Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or frying pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, ricotta cheese, egg, melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  6. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. You can also add blueberries or raspberries to the batter for extra flavor.
