Instructions
Creating Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Berries can be effortless if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients on the counter for easy access.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the fluffiness.
5. Add Melted Butter: Fold in the melted butter gently to enhance the richness of your batter.
6. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
7. Pour the Batter: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
8. Flip the Pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Keep Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
10. Serve: Stack pancakes on plates, top with mixed berries, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
