Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Light and fluffy with a fresh lemony taste. Perfect for a weekend brunch!


1 1/2 cups flour
3 1/2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 cup ricotta cheese
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
2 Tbsp butter, melted

In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Create a well in the middle and set aside.

In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, ricotta cheese, eggs and vanilla extract until well blended. Whisk together the lemon juice and zest, then add to milk mixture, along with the melted butter. The lemon juice may cause the milk mixture to curdle a bit, so quickly stir together and then add to the flour mixture and whisk just until combined. The batter may be a bit lumpy. Pour about 1/4 or 1/3 cup of batter onto a greased griddle or skillet over medium heat and cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook until the other side is also golden brown. Serve with berries and maple syrup.
