Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, buttermilk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined but slightly lumpy.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; some lumps are okay.
  4. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and coat with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown (about another 1-2 minutes).
  6. Serve warm with maple syrup and garnish with lemon wedges and mint leaves.
