Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water, cold (or milk, water works really well, I've made them also with half water and half milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (just the yellow part of the skin)
- 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable oil)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (white sugar)
- 1 large egg
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 2 tablespoons self-rising flour
How to Make
-
Step 1: Whisk water and baking soda together in a mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, lemon zest, vegetables oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, breaking up lumps of cheese as you mix. Add melted butter, lemon juice, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons self-rising flour. Whisk together, stirring until most of flour disappears into the batter.
-
Step 2: Let batter sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
-
Step 3: Heat lightly greased cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Portion out 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto skillet (cook in batches). When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges of the pancakes start to look dry (2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate.
