Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

breakfast

Fluffy buttermilk pancakes filled with lemon zest and delicious soft ricotta cheese served with powdered sugar and maple syrup for the win!

Think brunch, birthday mornings, Saturday mornings, or 7 pm on a weeknight. This is the perfect meal for any time or day of the week. These fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes are filled with lemon zest and ricotta cheese. You will not taste the ricotta cheese, it just gives it a very smooth and delicious texture.

The pancake batter should be very thick and these are super fluffy. If you prefer flatter pancakes, I suggest smoothing out the batter in the skillet. I like them fluffy, crispy around the edges, and soft in the inside. And of course, my favorite way of serving these is with powdered sugar and maple syrup.

You can also sprinkle some lemon zest on these and add some whipped cream.
