LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES



Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes image

If these pancakes were any lighter, they would float off the plate--and I didn't even separate the eggs and whip the whites. Also, I used water instead of milk--and I liked them better that way. I like to serve these with a pat of butter, a pinch of lemon zest, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Number Of Ingredients 12

¾ cup cold water or milk
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (just the yellow part of the skin)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 large egg
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons self-rising flour

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.

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH SWEET CREME FRAICHE



Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Sweet Creme Fraiche image

This is one of my favorite recipes from a B&B (Fairholme Manor) my husband and I stayed in in Victoria, BC. I eat the pancakes with creme fraiche alone, but many enjoy it with the addition of maple syrup. Enjoy the creme fraiche as a substitute to whipped cream on just about anything.
