Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup ricotta
  • 1 cup milk can use plant-based
  • 1 lemon for zest and juice

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, vanilla extract, zest of 1 lemon, juice of 1 lemon (use same lemon), milk, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and ricotta. Pour dry ingredients into bowl of wet ingredients. Combine well with a spatula.
  • Place your pan's heat setting to medium-low heat. Once pan is warm, add about ½ tablespoon of butter with a bit cooking oil (do this for each pancake that you make).
  • Once butter is melted and incorporated with the oil, use a ladle to pour pancake batter onto hot pan. Once you start to see air bubbles forming on top, that will be your cue to flip the pancake over. This will take about 2-3 minutes. After you flip it, cook for another minute then plate it. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
