Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, ricotta cheese, lightly beaten eggs, melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
4
Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle, leaving space between each.
5
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes. Flip carefully and cook until the second side is golden and cooked through.
6
Serve the pancakes immediately, topped generously with fresh mixed berries. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I ensure my pancakes are extra fluffy?

The ricotta cheese naturally adds fluffiness. Be careful not to overmix the batter; mixing just until combined helps keep them tender. Also, ensure your baking powder is fresh.

Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?

It's best to mix the wet and dry ingredients separately and combine them just before cooking. If you must, combine the wet ingredients (excluding baking powder) and store in the fridge. Add baking powder and dry ingredients just before cooking.

What other toppings would be good?

A dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of toasted nuts, or a compote made from other seasonal fruits like rhubarb would be delicious.
