Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 cup Ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons Melted butter

Getting Started

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Mixing the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.

Combining Wet and Dry

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cooking the Pancakes

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serving

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of cheese?

    While ricotta provides the best texture, you can experiment with cottage cheese or cream cheese, but the results may vary.
  • Can I make the batter ahead of time?

    It's best to make the batter fresh, as it will rise better. However, you can prepare the dry and wet ingredients separately ahead of time and combine them just before cooking.
  • How do I keep the pancakes warm?

    Place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a warm oven (around 200°F or 95°C) until ready to serve.
