Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.75 cup ricotta cheese
- 0.75 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Step 2
In another bowl, beat the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps in the batter are fine.
Step 4
Fold in the lemon zest for an additional burst of fresh flavor.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil.
Step 6
Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto the heated surface for each pancake.
Step 7
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 8
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from the skillet and keep warm while repeating with the remaining batter.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
