Instructions

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.

Whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, lemon zest and juice in a medium bowl.

Gradually whisk in the flour mixture until well blended. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Heat a griddle to 350°F and coat with a little canola oil.

Add 1/4 cup batter to the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles appear on top. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Serve with fresh fruit, syrup or powdered sugar, as desired.
