Lemon Ricotta Pancakes Breakfast (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
07 - 1 cup buttermilk
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 1 tablespoon lemon zest
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
11 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - Butter or oil for cooking
13 - Maple syrup for serving
14 - Fresh lemon wedges and mint for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
02 - In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, buttermilk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. It's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
04 - Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan.
05 - Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
06 - Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, garnished with fresh lemon wedges and mint.

# Notes:

01 - Do not overmix the batter to ensure pancakes stay light and fluffy.
