The Best Ricotta Pancakes

The Best Ricotta Pancakes

This is a well loved recipe! I have an old, small crumpled piece of paper with this recipe hand written out from some years ago, not sure where it came from! I have my own scribbles and scratches on it, so I must have changed it somewhere in time, but this is how I have been making it the last 10 years. It is our favorite pancake recipe. So light, a little tangy, and very satisfying. Perfect with some fresh blueberries or strawberries.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese plus
  • 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup skim milk
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil, or as needed

Directions

Step 1
Preheat a griddle to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) or place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 2
Stir ricotta cheese, milk, and egg yolks together in a bowl until combined.

Step 3
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; stir in ricotta mixture.

Step 4
Whisk egg whites in a bowl until frothy; fold into ricotta mixture.

Step 5
Oil preheated griddle with about 1 teaspoon canola oil; pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until evenly golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; turn and cook until evenly golden on other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, oiling griddle between batches.

Cook’s Note:

You can lemon zest to the batter if you like your pancakes extra tangy.
