Lemon Lovers Ricotta Pancakes Recipes

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, powder and salt.
• In another medium sized bowl add the milk, eggs, ricotta, vanilla, lemon juice and zest.
• Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.
• Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray and drop about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the warm skillet. Once it forms bubbles then flip to the other side and cook until golden brown.

LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk water and baking soda together in a mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, lemon zest, vegetables oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, breaking up lumps of cheese as you mix. Add melted butter, lemon juice, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons self-rising flour. Whisk together, stirring until most of flour disappears into the batter.
• Let batter sit at room temperature about 15 minutes.
• Heat lightly greased cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Portion out 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto skillet (cook in batches). When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges of the pancakes start to look dry (2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate.

RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH LEMON SYRUP

Steps:

• For the ricotta pancakes: Whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk, egg, and zest until incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the ricotta.
• Preheat a large, well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add enough butter just to coat. When a drop of water thrown into the skillet bounces across the surface vigorously, add heaping tablespoon-sized dollops of batter, allowing enough room between each for them to spread slightly. Cook until the bubbles begin to pop and hollow out on the surface of the pancakes, adjusting the heat as necessary, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for about 1 minute more.
• Serve with Lemon Syrup.
• In a small saucepan, add the sugar, water, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt.
• Bring to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool and strain.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks, ricotta cheese and butter.
• In a small bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, salt and lemon rind. Stir the flour mixture into the ricotta mixture just until blended - batter will be thick.
• With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the whites into the batter - don't over mix.
• Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour batter onto the hot pan to form 4-inch rounds. Cook until the bottoms are golden. Turn and cook the other side.
• Serve with fresh berries and a dusting of confectioners sugar.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Heat a griddle or large nonstick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-low.
• Add the sugar to a large bowl, then finely grate the zest of the lemon directly over the sugar. Using your fingers, gently rub the zest into the sugar. Add the vanilla and whisk to evenly moisten. Add the eggs and whisk until foamy on top, then add the ricotta, buttermilk and butter, and whisk until well blended. Add the flour mixture and gently stir until no traces of flour remain.
• Generously butter the griddle, then drop a scant 1/4 cup batter onto it. Repeat, spacing the rounds at least an inch apart. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with more butter and the remaining batter. Serve warm, slathered with butter and blueberry syrup or other toppings if you'd like.

• Brush a nonstick skillet with ½ teaspoon oil, then heat over medium-low. With a 1/4 cup measure, drop the batter onto the skillet, spreading it slightly. Multiple pancakes can be cooked at once.
• Cook the pancakes until browned on the underside and beginning to set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the second side and cooked at the center, about 2 minutes longer.
• Transfer the cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Brush the skillet with the remaining oil and repeat with remaining batter.
