Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (cooled)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
  • butter (for griddle)
  • powdered sugar (for garnish)
  • fresh berries

Instruction

  • First, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whip the egg whites until they form firm peaks; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - flour, poppy seeds, sugar, salt, and lemon zest. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients - egg yolks, ricotta cheese, and melted butter - then slowly add to the dry ingredients.
  • Fold the egg whites gently into the batter, until just combined.
  • Heat griddle to medium and lightly butter. Ladle batter onto griddle, gently spreading to desired size. Cook pancakes until they are golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve with maple syrup and fresh berries and garnish with powdered sugar, if desired.
