Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups ricotta
2 cups mixed fresh berries
1/3 cup plus 4 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chestnut flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1 1/2 cups whole milk
Melted unsalted butter for brushing
**Ingredient info:**Chestnut flour can be found at specialty foods stores.

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.

I've never had lemon ricotta pancakes before, but they sound delicious. I'm going to have to find a recipe and try them out.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon, but I'm willing to give these pancakes a try. The ricotta cheese sounds like it might balance out the tartness of the lemon.

I love the idea of adding ricotta cheese to pancakes. It sounds like it would make them extra moist and fluffy.

I'm not sure about these pancakes. The combination of lemon and ricotta seems a bit odd to me.

The pancakes were good, but not great. I found the ricotta cheese to be a bit too heavy and the lemon zest to be a bit too strong.

These pancakes were a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best pancakes he's ever had.

I've made these pancakes many times now and they're always a hit with my family. The ricotta cheese makes them so moist and fluffy, and the lemon zest adds a nice zing. I love serving them with fresh berries and maple syrup.
