Light and delicate, these ricotta lemon pancakes are a delicious change from your regular pancake breakfast! I love pancakes, no one else here does. So I don’t get a chance to whip up something different too often. This past Sunday, I just did it. And ohhhhhh these are so good! I used whole milk ricotta (available in the cheese section of most grocery deli departments) and real maple syrup. You’ve got to try these!
Top them with a pat of fresh grass-fed butter and your favorite pure maple syrup and you have heaven on a plate!

Jen, the lemon flavor is just a hint but oh so good! Thanks for stopping by!
Those look like the prettiest pancakes I’ve ever seen. I look forward to trying them out on the family.
