Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
