Fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes with zesty flavor from scratch, following Chef John's recipe for soft, tender perfection.
Ingredients:
  • 0.75 cup cold water or milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (just the yellow part of the skin)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 0.125 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 2 tablespoons self-rising flour
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
  • Combine cold water and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Mix in ricotta cheese, egg, lemon zest, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla until smooth, ensuring to break up any cheese lumps.
  • Combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of self-rising flour with melted butter and lemon juice, whisking until the flour is mostly incorporated. Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat.
  • Spoon batter onto hot griddle and cook until bubbly and edges are dry, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden, another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
