    If you love lemon you will love these  Lemon Ricotta Pancakes!

     

    Have you ever been to a restaurant for dinner and started looking at the breakfast menu? We were at Cheesecake Factory and if you have ever been there you know how big the menu is and not only lunch and dinner items but breakfast too. As I was looking at the menu, something lemony and cheesy stood out and after reading the description, I had to call over the waitress and ask her about it.  Lemon Ricotta Pancakes.

     

    I love anything with lemon in it and I will try to make anything that has it in it too. We went home and I found a recipe to make it. I went to the store and got all the ingredients and I made the batter and hubby made the pancakes. Now I  love pancakes and all breakfast food, it’s really my favorite meal of the day.  I was so excited to eat it and it tasted delicious. My kids even ate it knowing there was cheese in it, made it questionable to them, but it was a hit. We added strawberries,  but blueberries would have been just as good.

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

    This recipe is great with strawberries or blueberries on top. It is not too sweet so the addition of the berries works well. This recipe was adapted from the Cheesecake Factory.

    Ingredients

    • 1-3/4 Cups AP Flour
    • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
    • 1 teaspoon Salt
    • 1 1/2 Cups Buttermilk
    • 2 large Eggs
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
    • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
    • 2 cups Fresh Ricotta cheese
    • 4 Tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 2 Tablespoons lemon zest
    • Fruit of choice for top
    • 2 1/2 teaspoons oil for griddle

    Instructions

    • Place the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients together until combined. Set aside.
    • Pour the buttermilk into another mixing bowl. Add eggs, vanilla and oil into the bowl. (I did add a 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice also)
    • Add the ricotta cheese, sugar and lemon zest into the bowl with the buttermilk. Using a whisk. gently still the ingredients together.
    • Add the flour mix into the bowl with the buttermilk and ricotta cheese. continue to fold the ingredients together until evenly combined with a few small lumps remaining in the batter. Do not over mix the batter.
    • Heat 1/4 tsp of vegetable oil on a griddle or in a large non stick pan. Ladle the batter on the griddle until the pancake is nice and golden on each side.

    Notes

    Pancake batter should not be smooth. Believe it or not, mixing until just combined and still lumpy creates fluffy pancakes.
