Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: Light, Fluffy & Zesty Breakfast Delight


  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (sifted)

    • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder

    • Pinch of Salt

    • 1 cup Buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 teaspoon lemon juice)

    • 2 Large Eggs (room temperature)

    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

    • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

    • 1/2 cup Fresh Ricotta Cheese

    • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar

    • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Zest

    • Optional: Fresh berries, Maple syrup, or Powdered sugar for topping


Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well and set aside.

  • In another bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil.

  • Add ricotta cheese, sugar, and lemon zest into the buttermilk mixture. Gently stir with a whisk until blended.

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold gently just until combined. A few small lumps are okay — do not overmix!

  • Heat a nonstick griddle or large skillet over medium heat with a little vegetable oil.

  • Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.

 

  • Serve warm topped with fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar!
