Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Ricotta Pancakes Delight.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine cold water or milk with baking soda, whisking until fully blended.
Step 2
Next, introduce ricotta cheese, egg, lemon zest, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla extract to the mix.
Step 3
Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth, ensuring any lumps of cheese are broken down.
Step 4
Gradually fold in 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of self-rising flour, melted butter, and lemon juice, mixing just until the flour is mostly absorbed—avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Let the batter rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to enhance its texture.
Step 6
While the batter rests, preheat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once hot, drop generous spoonfuls of batter onto the griddle.
Step 8
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 9
Flip the pancakes and cook until they turn a lovely golden brown on the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 10
Continue this process with the remaining batter, savoring the delightful aroma that fills your kitchen.
Step 11
Enjoy your fluffy pancakes, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch gathering!.
