Kat over at A Good Appetite made these lemon ricotta pancakes and I just knew I had to make them. Her and Matt always seem to be filled with good ideas. So last Sunday morning I could not get on the internet, so I kind of winged it. I was very pleased with the result and apparently so was everyone else because they disappeared in a flash. (Hence the not so perfect pancakes were all that were left, sigh). Next time, because there will definitely be a next time, I will try Kat's recipe.
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 egg
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/3 buttermilk
3/4 cup ricotta
zest of one lemon
Whisk the flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Add buttermilk, egg, salt, sugar and zest. Whisk to combine. Add ricotta and stir with a spoon.
Tips:
Your batter should not plop off the spoon but it should not run of the spoon like water either. It should look a tiny bit thicker than buttermilk.
The pan should not be too hot because the surface will cook faster than the insides and you will have mushy pancakes.
Lemon Curd
5 yolks
1 cup sugar
juice and zest of 4 lemons
1 stick of butter (4 oz.) cut in eight pieces
Combine yolks, sugar, juice and zest of lemons in a stainless steel bowl. Whisk until combined. Place bowl over boiling water. (You could also use a double boiler). Stir with whisk constantly. You want to heat it until it sticks to the back of a spoon. When you run your finger through it, it makes a trail. This usually takes anywhere from eight to ten minutes.
Take off the heat and whisk in pieces of butter one at a time until melted. Place in a glass or ceramic container and refrigerate. You can store this for about a week. It freezes well and defrosts rapidly.

Not even difficult and looks so good - ricotta cheese and lemon - oh yaaaaa.
That's so creative! I'm impressed! I can't make things up on the fly. Bad things happen.
Wow these looks amazing! I can't wait to make them. Lori, for the buttermilk, is it 1 1/3 cup? The unit was missing from the recipe. Thanks!
Janice, the unit 1 1/3 cup is in the list for the recipe. I am afraid I don't understand your question.
Thanks, Lori! I probably have a problem with my browser I can't see "cup" after 1 1/3 =)
Now I can try making these delicious pancakes!!!
