Pancake Batter

Orange Honey Butter

Method

Pancake Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

Orange Honey Butter Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix Butter Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, honey, orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well blended and creamy.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Stack the pancakes on a plate, top with fresh berries, and serve with maple syrup and a dollop of orange honey butter on the side.
