Preparation

Preparation of Dry Ingredients

1. Mix Dry Ingredients

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

Preparation of Wet Ingredients

2. Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and well blended.

Combining Ingredients

3. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cooking the Pancakes

4. Heat the Pan

In a non-stick skillet or griddle, heat the butter or oil over medium heat until melted and hot.

5. Cook Pancakes

Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Serving

6. Serve Warm

Remove pancakes from the skillet and serve warm. Optionally, top with fresh fruits, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
