Lemon Or Lime Or Orange Ricotta Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Heat a griddle or large nonstick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-low.
• Add the sugar to a large bowl, then finely grate the zest of the lemon directly over the sugar. Using your fingers, gently rub the zest into the sugar. Add the vanilla and whisk to evenly moisten. Add the eggs and whisk until foamy on top, then add the ricotta, buttermilk and butter, and whisk until well blended. Add the flour mixture and gently stir until no traces of flour remain.
• Generously butter the griddle, then drop a scant 1/4 cup batter onto it. Repeat, spacing the rounds at least an inch apart. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with more butter and the remaining batter. Serve warm, slathered with butter and blueberry syrup or other toppings if you'd like.

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg, cheese, milk, orange zest, orange juice, melted butter and vanilla until blended. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until moistened., Lightly grease a griddle; heat over medium heat. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle. Cook until bubbles on top begin to pop and bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown. If desired, serve with syrup and confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Mash the sugar and orange zest together with the back of a spoon in a small bowl or on a cutting board. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the sugar-and-zest mixture and whisk to combine. Combine the ricotta, sour cream, heavy cream, orange juice and egg yolks with a whisk in a medium bowl. Add the ricotta mixture to the flour mixture and combine with a rubber spatula until just smooth; don't overmix.
• Rub the 1/2 lemon over the inside of a chilled medium metal bowl, then wipe the bowl dry with a paper towel. Add the egg whites to the bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gently fold about 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter, then add the remaining egg whites. Don't worry if there are slight streaks of egg whites in the batter. Heat a nonstick or cast-iron griddle and grease with 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour or ladle about 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes and the edges come together, about 2 minutes. Slip a spatula under each pancake, flip gently and cook until the edges come together and the pancake has risen, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve immediately. You can also add a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar or a drizzle of orange blossom honey, if desired.

Steps:

• 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.
• Let batter sit at room temperature about 15 minutes.
• 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.

Steps:

• Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth; set over a small bowl. Add ricotta to strainer and let drain for 15 minutes; set aside.
• Gently combine berries, 1/3 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Let macerate, tossing occasionally, until sugar dissolves and juices are released, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk both flours, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until frothy. Gradually beat in 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until peaks form. Whisk the egg yolks, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and zest in another medium bowl to blend. Whisk in milk. Add the yolk mixture to dry ingredients; whisk just to blend. Add half of the egg white mixture; fold just to blend. Fold in ricotta, then remaining egg white mixture.
• Heat a griddle or large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat; brush with melted butter. Using scant 1/2 cup batter for each pancake and working in batches, ladle batter onto griddle and cook until bottom is golden brown, edges are dry, and bubbles form on top of pancake, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until browned and just cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer pancakes to plates. Serve with berries and their juices.
