Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes Recipe Will Make Your Weekend Even Better

Skip the long waits at the brunch places this weekend and make this easy lemon ricotta pancake recipe in your own kitchen. This perfect, fluffy pancake recipe is so easy and delicious!

The lemon ricotta pancake batter is made with flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, milk, ricotta cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice (fresh is best!) and lemon zest. Combine the ingredients and then cook them on a griddle or in a large frying pan in a little butter. Dust these lemon ricotta pancakes with powdered sugar, or top with traditional maple syrup and butter. You can't go wrong either way.
