Ricotta Lemon Pancakes

Ricotta makes these pancakes soft and light rather than heavy. Don't overmix once the flour goes in, and keep the heat medium-low so they cook through without burning. Good for a slow weekend breakfast with the lemon to keep them fresh.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

  • 320g Ricotta
  • 200g Plain flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 240ml Milk
  • ¾ lemon
  • 40g Caster sugar
  • 12g Baking powder

Method

  1. Whisk ricotta, eggs and milk until smooth. Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder and the zest and juice of the lemon until just combined.
  2. Cook in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat in 1/4-cup rounds, 2–3 min per side until golden and cooked through.
  3. Season: taste a test pancake — a little extra lemon zest brightens them if needed. Serve with icing sugar and berries.
