Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes

Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes

These lemon ricotta pancakes are lovely served with a pat of butter, a pinch of lemon zest, and a drizzle of maple syrup. If these pancakes were any lighter, they would float off the plate — and I didn’t even separate the eggs and whip the whites. Also, I used water instead of milk; I liked them better this way.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup cold water or milk
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (just the yellow part of the skin)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons self-rising flour

Directions

Step 1
Whisk together cold water and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, egg, lemon zest, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla; whisk until smooth, breaking up lumps of cheese as you mix.

Step 2
Whisk in 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons self-rising flour, melted butter, and lemon juice until most of flour disappears into batter. Let batter sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat.

Step 4
Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the hot griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
