Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Prep Time15 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time30 mins

 4 eggs, separated
 1 ⅓ cups ricotta
 1 ½ tbsp white sugar
 1 ½ tbsp fresh lemon zest
 ½ cup flour
1

Separate your eggs. You'll want your yolks in a large mixing bowl and your whites in a bowl in which you can use an electric mixer.

2

In your bowl with the yolks, add the ricotta cheese, sugar, and flour. We used a silicone mixing spoon to gently break up the yokes and create a lovely yellow batter. A whisk or even a large spoon would work just as well.

3

In your bowl with the egg whites, add a pinch of salt and beat the eggs on high speed until you have your foamy egg whites! If you are using a standing mixer, use your whisk attachment.

4

Begin to fold in your whites into your batter, gently. When the whites are fully incorporated, you are ready to take your batter to the girddle!

5

Heat some butter in your griddle until melted and bubbly. Then, spoon out pancakes using about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook on medium heat until pancakes firms slightly; they may not bubble as they do with traditional pancakes. Flip when ready until lower side is golden. Enjoy!
