Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.75 cup ricotta cheese
- 0.75 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, beat the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps in the batter are fine.
Fold in the lemon zest for an additional burst of fresh flavor.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto the heated surface for each pancake.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the skillet and keep warm while repeating with the remaining batter.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
