Ingredients

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Butter or oil for cooking (optional)

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  • In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

  • Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

  • Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

  • Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For added flavor, try substituting lemon zest with orange zest.

  • To make these pancakes gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend.

  • Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months
