Pancakes

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  2. 2

    Combine wet ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Mix the batter

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

  4. 4

    Cook the pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown, about another 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare the butter

    In a small bowl, mix softened butter with a bit of lemon zest and a dollop of ricotta for a whipped lemon-ricotta butter.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the pancakes warm topped with berry compote, whipped lemon-ricotta butter, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
