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.

MARION CUNNINGHAM'S LEMON PANCAKES
These spectacular pancakes, adapted from a Marion Cunningham recipe, are made with cottage cheese, lemon peel and beaten egg whites, which makes them puff up like a soufflé. You have to whip the egg whites using an electric mixer, so this is definitely a weekend or holiday affair, but goodness, are they ever worth it. Serve with blueberries or raspberries and a dollop of plain yogurt.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES
This quick batter cooks into the most tender pancakes for the most comforting breakfast. Milky ricotta and butter, along with tangy buttermilk, lend a soft, sweet creaminess, and well-beaten eggs keep them fluffy and light. Lemon- and vanilla-scented sugar makes the pancakes sweet enough to eat on their own, but they're fun to serve with blueberry syrup or your favorite toppings. If you prefer soufflé-like pancakes, separate the whites from the yolks and beat them to stiff peaks. Mix the yolks in with the wet ingredients, fold the whipped whites in after the dry ingredients are incorporated and cook as directed below.

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemon juice and zest add a bright, citrusy flavor to the pancakes.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often can make them tough. Flip them only once, when bubbles form around the edges.
- Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a warm oven until ready to serve.
- Flavor variations: You can add other flavors to the pancakes, such as blueberries, raspberries, or chocolate chips.
Conclusion:
Lemon pancakes with lemon syrup are a delicious and refreshing breakfast or brunch dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect lemon pancakes every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet and tangy treat, give lemon pancakes a try.
