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.

1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup self-rising flour

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 30 silver dollar-sized pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup whole milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Zest of 3 lemons, grated, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup (4 ounces) ricotta
Unsalted butter for the skillet
Lemon Syrup, recipe follows
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
Zest of 1 lemon
2 lemons, juiced
Pinch of kosher salt

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 14 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup fresh whole milk ricotta
1 cup buttermilk, shaken
3 extra-large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons), plus extra for serving
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 tablespoons clarified butter
8 to 10 ripe figs, 1/2-inch diced
Salted butter and pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, buttermilk, eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. While stirring with a rubber spatula, add the flour mixture to the ricotta mixture and mix just until combined. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Pour in a tablespoon or two of the clarified butter and heat until the butter sizzles. Stir the batter with a rubber spatula. Using a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop, drop level scoopfuls of batter into the pan and allow them to cook for a few minutes, until bubbles appear all over the top. While the pancakes cook, distribute the figs on the pancakes, then turn to cook on the other side, until they spring back when lightly touched. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding clarified butter to the pan as needed. Transfer to plates, sprinkle with lemon zest, dot with butter, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve hot.

2 tablespoons lemon zest

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES



Lemon Ricotta Pancakes image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 small pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup/102 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3/4 cup/170 grams whole-milk ricotta
1/4 cup/61 grams buttermilk, preferably whole milk
2 tablespoons/28 grams unsalted butter, melted, plus room-temperature butter for cooking and serving
Blueberry Syrup or other toppings, for serving (optional)

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 for Making Lemon Ricotta Pancakes:

  • Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the ricotta cheese is well-drained before adding it to the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in tough pancakes.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Lemon ricotta pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With their light and fluffy texture and bright lemon flavor, these pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
