Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Whipped cream and lemon zest, for serving

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps.
  4. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese and lemon juice.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Serve the pancakes warm with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
