Lemon Pancakes Tips

  • You can add more sugar if you prefer sweeter pancakes, however since they are served with maple or even honey, they will be sweet enough.
  • Add extra lemon juice if you want more lemon flavor, but I think there is sufficient lemon flavor.
  • What to serve it with? Add your favorite maple syrup, drizzle with honey or sprinkle with powdered sugar. Add some fresh fruits or top it with jam.

Ricotta Pancake Faq’s

What’s the best way to cook pancakes? Heat your griddle or frying pan, spray with a little oil or brush with oil, pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter, cook until bubbly, then flip. Once it’s flipped you can cover the pan to cook faster.

Do you cook pancakes on high or low heat? Low to medium heat is the best to cook this pancake.

What are ricotta pancakes? The simple way to explain, they are made with ricotta cheese, simply add ricotta to the batter and cook. It makes the pancake fluffy and soft.
