Follow these straightforward steps to create your Lemon Ricotta Pancakes:

1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the ricotta mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
4. Heat the Pan: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the pan.
5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip them and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven while cooking the remaining batter.
7. Serve: Stack the pancakes on plates and serve warm with maple syrup or fresh fruit.

With these simple steps, you’ll have a stack of Lemon Ricotta Pancakes ready to enjoy!
