Receta Lemon Ricotta Pancakes #SundaySupper
Light and airy, these Lemon Ricotta Pancakes will make your mornings shine even on rainy days! Fresh lemon and ricotta cheese make these pancakes stand out from the ordinary.
The Introduction
I first had lemon ricotta pancakes while enjoying brunch at one of my favorite restaurants in NYC, Sarabeth's. So light and delicious with a delicate lemon flavor. At Sarabeth's you'll find these tasty morning treats are most often served with blackberries as a garnish and with butter and real maple syrup. They are just delightful!
When Sunday Supper Movement decided on "Citrus Recipes to Make You Smile" as a theme this week, I knew exactly what citrus recipe made me smile...these Lemon Ricotta Pancakes! While this isn't the exact recipe from Sarabeth's (it must be a secret, because I wasn't able to find it anywhere!), it is a delicious copycat.
The Recipe
There's no oil or butter in the batter. You could add a TBS or so of either if you like. I've done that before and it does decrease the rise a little. They really are perfectly fine without added fat though.
You can also substitute lower fat dairy products (milk, cheese) for the full fat ones and still have a good outcome! It's your choice.
These Lemon Ricotta Pancakes make a great addition to a lazy Sunday breakfast or a fabulous weekend brunch!
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
By Renee Paj
Light and fluffy pancakes made with fresh lemon and ricotta cheese, similar to the ones served at Sarabeth's in NYC for breakfast and brunch!
Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. baking powder
zest from 1 - 2 lemons
4 eggs, separated
1 cup ricotta cheese (full fat or low-fat)
1 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (juice from 2 lemons)
powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
In large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, lemon zest, and baking powder. Set aside. In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside. In a large 4 cup glass measure or bowl, whisk together egg yolks, ricotta cheese, milk, and lemon juice. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients then, gently fold in the whipped egg whites in thirds. Heat nonstick griddle or pan sprayed with cooking spray. Drop batter by 1/4th cups to make pancakes. Batter is a bit thick, so drop in a circular motion and spread around to make pancake. Flip when underside is done (pancakes won't bubble on the surface). Keep warm in oven and repeat process with remainder of batter. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve with butter and warm maple syrup! Yield: 6 servings
