Fluffy Ricotta Lemon-y Pancakes

These fluffy ricotta lemon-y pancakes are a delightful breakfast treat with a hint of lemon zest and creamy ricotta cheese. Theyre perfect for a cozy morning or a special brunch.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2/3 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, whole milk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface

Scoop 1/4 cup portions of the pancake batter onto the skillet, spreading them out slightly with the back of a spoon

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through

Serve the fluffy ricotta lemon-y pancakes warm, with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar
