MEYER LEMON RICOTTA CREPES WITH CANDIED ALMONDS
Steps:
- For the candied almonds: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds, sugar and a splash of water and stir to combine. Cook until the sugar has melted and the nuts begin to caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Spread the nuts out on the parchment and cool on a baking rack until the sugar hardens, about 15 minutes.
- For the ricotta: Stir together the ricotta, zest, sugar and cream in a bowl until light and fluffy.
- For the crepes: Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the milk, zest, butter and salt and whisk until combined. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Heat a 6- to-8-inch nonstick pan over medium heat; spray with nonstick cooking spray or brush with clarified butter. Ladle in a scant 1/4 cup of the crepe batter; swirl the pan and cook until the bottom sets and turns light golden brown, 30 to 45 seconds. Flip and continue cooking until the bottom is light golden brown, another 20 seconds or so. Transfer to a plate. Repeat and stack, keeping the cooked crepes warm in the oven.
- Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the ricotta on each crepe, roll up the crepes and serve with a sprinkling of candied almonds.
LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES
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.

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.

Steps:
- Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth; set over a small bowl. Add ricotta to strainer and let drain for 15 minutes; set aside.
- Gently combine berries, 1/3 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Let macerate, tossing occasionally, until sugar dissolves and juices are released, about 15 minutes.
- Whisk both flours, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until frothy. Gradually beat in 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until peaks form. Whisk the egg yolks, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and zest in another medium bowl to blend. Whisk in milk. Add the yolk mixture to dry ingredients; whisk just to blend. Add half of the egg white mixture; fold just to blend. Fold in ricotta, then remaining egg white mixture.
- Heat a griddle or large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat; brush with melted butter. Using scant 1/2 cup batter for each pancake and working in batches, ladle batter onto griddle and cook until bottom is golden brown, edges are dry, and bubbles form on top of pancake, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until browned and just cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer pancakes to plates. Serve with berries and their juices.

LEMON & RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE
I've been having this love affair with Ricotta Cheese lately. After watching Bobby Flay make some yummy Blueberry & Ricotta Pancakes, I thought I'd incorporate it in my favorite pancake....that my husband and kid hate (they don't like the lemon).

Steps:
- To make the raspberry sauce, combine the Raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 TBS Lemon Juice in a sauce pan over medium heat. Cook until a sauce forms. I like mine chunky!
- To make the pancakes, combine the flower, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add the milk, oil, egg, and lemon zest.
- Heat a non-stick griddle with non-stick cooking spray over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of the batter onto the griddle. Add a few spoonfuls of the Ricotta cheese to the pancakes.
- Cook until the pancake bubbles (about 2-3 minutes) and flip. Cook until golden brown (another 2-3 minutes). The recipe should make about 12 small pancakes.
- Serve with the Raspberry Sauce and a sprinkle of fresh mint.
Tips:
- To ensure the best results, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning.
- For a light and fluffy pancake, whip the egg whites separately until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat to cook the pancakes. This will prevent them from sticking and burning.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Do not overcook, as this will make them dry and rubbery.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
