LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES
If these pancakes were any lighter, they would float off the plate--and I didn't even separate the eggs and whip the whites. Also, I used water instead of milk--and I liked them better that way. I like to serve these with a pat of butter, a pinch of lemon zest, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Steps:
- Whisk water and baking soda together in a mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, lemon zest, vegetables oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, breaking up lumps of cheese as you mix. Add melted butter, lemon juice, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons self-rising flour. Whisk together, stirring until most of flour disappears into the batter.
- Let batter sit at room temperature about 15 minutes.
- Heat lightly greased cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Portion out 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto skillet (cook in batches). When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges of the pancakes start to look dry (2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate.

Steps:
- For the ricotta pancakes: Whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk, egg, and zest until incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the ricotta.
- Preheat a large, well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add enough butter just to coat. When a drop of water thrown into the skillet bounces across the surface vigorously, add heaping tablespoon-sized dollops of batter, allowing enough room between each for them to spread slightly. Cook until the bubbles begin to pop and hollow out on the surface of the pancakes, adjusting the heat as necessary, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for about 1 minute more.
- Serve with Lemon Syrup.
- In a small saucepan, add the sugar, water, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt.
- Bring to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool and strain.
LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH FIGS
Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, buttermilk, eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. While stirring with a rubber spatula, add the flour mixture to the ricotta mixture and mix just until combined. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Heat a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Pour in a tablespoon or two of the clarified butter and heat until the butter sizzles. Stir the batter with a rubber spatula. Using a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop, drop level scoopfuls of batter into the pan and allow them to cook for a few minutes, until bubbles appear all over the top. While the pancakes cook, distribute the figs on the pancakes, then turn to cook on the other side, until they spring back when lightly touched. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding clarified butter to the pan as needed. Transfer to plates, sprinkle with lemon zest, dot with butter, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve hot.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, egg yolk, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth, then add flour and baking powder. Mix this until fully combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed with an electric mixer until very white and foamy, then gradually add sugar. Continue beating on high speed until hard peaks form.
- Gently fold ¼ of the egg whites into the lemon ricotta mixture. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the eggs!
- Butter up a nonstick pan and pour in about ¼ cup (25g) worth of batter for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown on the edges.
- In a pot or pan, cook blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the compote reaches a thick consistency. (Compote will thicken once it cools, so to loosen it up just add a touch of hot water.)
- Serve hot compote over stack of pancakes and dust with powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES
This quick batter cooks into the most tender pancakes for the most comforting breakfast. Milky ricotta and butter, along with tangy buttermilk, lend a soft, sweet creaminess, and well-beaten eggs keep them fluffy and light. Lemon- and vanilla-scented sugar makes the pancakes sweet enough to eat on their own, but they're fun to serve with blueberry syrup or your favorite toppings. If you prefer soufflé-like pancakes, separate the whites from the yolks and beat them to stiff peaks. Mix the yolks in with the wet ingredients, fold the whipped whites in after the dry ingredients are incorporated and cook as directed below.

Steps:
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Heat a griddle or large nonstick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-low.
- Add the sugar to a large bowl, then finely grate the zest of the lemon directly over the sugar. Using your fingers, gently rub the zest into the sugar. Add the vanilla and whisk to evenly moisten. Add the eggs and whisk until foamy on top, then add the ricotta, buttermilk and butter, and whisk until well blended. Add the flour mixture and gently stir until no traces of flour remain.
- Generously butter the griddle, then drop a scant 1/4 cup batter onto it. Repeat, spacing the rounds at least an inch apart. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with more butter and the remaining batter. Serve warm, slathered with butter and blueberry syrup or other toppings if you'd like.
Tips:
- Use fresh ricotta cheese. Fresh ricotta cheese is creamier and has a milder flavor than store-bought ricotta cheese. If you can, make your own ricotta cheese at home using whole milk and lemon juice or vinegar.
- Use high-quality lemons. The flavor of the lemons will shine through in the pancakes, so use the best lemons you can find.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
- Cook the pancakes over medium-low heat. This will help prevent the pancakes from burning.
- Serve the pancakes immediately. Lemon ricotta pancakes are best served hot off the griddle with your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
Lemon ricotta pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They're perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With their light and fluffy texture, bright lemon flavor, and creamy ricotta filling, these pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
