Pancake Batter

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to combine.

  2. 2

    Mix wet ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine wet and dry ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; some lumps are fine.

  4. 4

    Preheat the skillet

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter.

  5. 5

    Cook the pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Flip and finish cooking

    Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve warm with fresh blueberries and a drizzle of Connecticut maple syrup.
