Receta Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
These are light, fluffy and good enough to eat without any toppings at all. Great for a weekend breakfast, they also freeze and reheat well.

Ingredientes
- 3 eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- zest of a large lemon, finely chopped, about 3 tsp
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8oz ricotta cheese
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Direcciones
- In a large bowl, whisk yolks together with sugar, salt, lemon zest and vanilla.
- Add ricotta cheese and stir to blend.
- Fold in flour. (Batter can be made in advance up to this point and finished just before cooking.)
- In a second bowl, whisk whites until they are light and frothy, not quite to soft peak.
- Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until well blended.
- Ladle the batter onto a medium hot griddle. (2 ounces makes a nicely sized pancake, not too big or too small. I've been scooping out the batter with a 1/4 cup measure, then spreading it out a bit - this batter is not "runny").
- When bubbles form on top and pancake bottoms are golden brown, flip cakes and cook until browned on the bottom.
