- 1 3/4 cups ricotta cheese whole milk, part-skim, your choice
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp grated orange or tangerine zest
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- 2/3 cup flour
Whisk Together Wet IngredientsIn a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, sugar, eggs, and both citrus zests until smooth and well-blended.
Add the FlourGently whisk in the flour until just combined. Don’t overmix—keeping the batter slightly lumpy helps maintain that light, airy texture.
Heat Your GriddlePreheat a non-stick griddle or skillet to medium-low heat and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Cook the PancakesScoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve and GarnishServe warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream. Fresh berries, sliced citrus, or even a spoonful of lemon curd make perfect garnishes.
