Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (363g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (softened)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the large bowl combine the butter and the sugar. Using an electric mixer beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated.
  • Add the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat to combine.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients.
