Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat ricotta cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Skim milk
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0 Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, eggs, skim milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
Step 4
Fold in the lemon zest to incorporate it throughout the batter for a hint of fresh citrus flavor.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the cooking surface with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 6
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite low-fat syrup or fresh fruit.
