Easy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
Description
Easy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes mix common pancake ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with dairy elements including ricotta cheese and milk. The ricotta adds moisture and a tender crumb to the pancakes. Lemon zest and lemon juice introduce a fresh, citrus note that lightens the batter's flavor.
Cooking on a medium-high preheated griddle, the batter is portioned to quarter-cup scoops, cooking until bubbles appear on the surface before flipping. The result is pancakes with golden brown surfaces and a soft, airy interior.
These pancakes are served hot, optionally with syrup or toppings of choice. The lemon and ricotta keep the texture moist and add subtle tang and creaminess, making this a pleasant twist on classic pancakes suitable for morning meals.
