How to Make

  • Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, sour cream, butter, vanilla, buttermilk, egg yolks, sugar, cinnamon, salt and lemon zest until completely homogenized.

  • Step 2: Sift flour and baking powder on top and blend completely.

  • Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold into batter; the batter should be just thin enough to pour - if too thick add more milk.

  • Step 4: Pour by 1/4 cups onto prepared 375 griddle or sprayed heavy pan and cook for 2 - 3 minutes on first side and then flip and cook 1 - 2 minutes more, or until your liking.
