- 1 cup (125g/4.4 ounces) flour
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup (125 milliliters/4.2 fluid ounces) milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 lemon, zested
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Leavening Agent:

Instructions
- Whisk ricotta cheese thoroughly to eliminate excess moisture, ensuring a smooth base for the pancake batter.
- Incorporate eggs, milk, and vibrant lemon zest into the ricotta, blending until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- In a separate vessel, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt, eliminating any potential clumps that might disrupt the batter’s texture.
- Delicately merge the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, using gentle folding motions to maintain the batter’s airy structure.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low temperature, applying a thin layer of butter to prevent pancakes from adhering.
- Ladle batter onto the heated surface, creating circular formations that allow even cooking and natural bubble formation.
- Monitor pancakes closely, waiting until edges become firm and surface develops characteristic bubbles, indicating optimal moment for flipping.
- Carefully turn pancakes, cooking the reverse side until golden and responsive to a light touch.
- Transfer finished pancakes to serving plates, elegantly dusting with powdered sugar for a delicate sweetness.
- Complement the pancakes with fresh berries or a luxurious maple syrup drizzle, enhancing their delicate lemon-ricotta flavor profile.
