Nothing says a relaxing weekend more to me than a plate of these Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. They are perfectly fluffy and tender and loaded with great Lemon flavor.
In our house like many of your houses, weekdays are quite busy. In fact most breakfasts are either a quick bowl of cereal or something my family can grab and go. That is why on the weekends I like to take things a little bit slower. This is when I will take the time to make a batch of pancakes from scratch that my family can sit at the table and enjoy. These simple Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are my go to pancakes. They are not only super moist, tender and delicious but they are also easy to make. So why not give them a try. I’m sure they will become a family favorite.

Ingredients
1 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
3 Teaspoons baking powder
1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
1/2 Teaspoon salt
3 Eggs
1 Cup milk
3/4 Cup ricotta cheese
2 Teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons lemon zest
1/4 Cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
Directions
- To a large mixing bowl whisk together the all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt until completely combined. Set to the side.
- To a separate mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, lemon zest and lemon juice until completely combined. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and using a rubber spatula, fold in until just combined. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes on the counter to rest.
- Place butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Once butter has melted and the pan is hot, place about 1/3 cup of batter in the center of the pan. Cook until bubbles start to form on the top of the pancake, about 3 minutes. Flip pancake and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Remove from frying pan and place in a serving dish and loosely cover while you make the remaining pancakes.
- Enjoy.
