Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Low-sodium ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or unsalted butter for griddle
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the low-sodium ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. If the batter seems too thick, add a bit more milk until you get a smooth consistency.
Fold in the lemon zest for a fresh, light flavor.
Preheat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or brush with unsalted butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2 more minutes.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
