    Lemon ricotta pancakes are the cloud-like weekend breakfast — light ricotta and bright lemon zest folded into a tender batter, cooked until golden and served with berries and maple syrup. They’re impossibly fluffy and completely delicious.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
    2. Whisk the yolks, ricotta, milk, lemon juice, zest, vanilla, and melted butter. Stir into the dry ingredients until just combined.
    3. Beat the egg whites to soft peaks and fold into the batter.
    4. Cook 1/3-cup portions on a buttered griddle over medium heat 2-3 minutes per side until golden and fluffy.
    5. Serve with berries and maple syrup.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Don't overmix the batter — lumps are fine and keep the pancakes light. Cook over medium heat so the centers cook through without burning.
