- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 1 cup buttermilk or kefir -
- 3/4 cup whole milk ricotta -
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- Whisk dry ingredients, including flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, together in a large mixing bowl.
- Slightly warm the honey in a small saucepan or microwave so that it easily stirs in.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix the buttermilk, ricotta cheese, eggs, and vanilla using a hand mixer.
- Zest two lemons and then cut them in half. Squeeze the juice over a fine mesh strainer to filter out the seeds. Set aside.
- Add the melted butter and warm honey to your wet ingredients, followed by lemon juice and zest.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, careful not to overmix. Use a rubber scraper to stir the pancake batter gently.

- Scoop your batter onto the griddle using a 1/4 or 1/3 measuring cup, leaving enough room for the pancakes to spread a bit.
- Lower the heat to medium-low; flip once they become golden brown.
- Top pancakes with butter and fresh fruit, and serve with warm maple syrup or confectioner’s sugar.
Notes
- Preheat your oven to 175º to keep the pancakes warm. Be sure to cover them with foil.
