Lemon ricotta pancakes

Ricotta gives these pancakes a soft texture and lemon zest adds fragrance. Stir the batter just until combined and use gentle heat to cook the centers through.

Now for the good part

Let’s make it.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Whisk ricotta, eggs, milk, zest and sugar. Fold in flour and baking powder until no dry patches remain.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Oil a nonstick pan lightly and warm over medium-low heat. Spoon in small pancakes, leaving space to flip.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and fully set inside. Lower the heat if the outside browns before the middle cooks.

Little things that help

Make it your own.

  • A few small lumps are fine; vigorous mixing can make the pancakes tough.

Keeping the leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow covered containers within 2 hours. Use within 3 days and reheat until steaming hot throughout; reheated leftovers should reach 74°C / 165°F.
