Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
The most moist and delicious lemony pancakes! You don't even taste the ricotta, it just lends richness and moisture.

My favourite way to serve them is with warmed maple syrup and a dollop of blueberry jam or fresh blueberries.

I have very fond memories of eating these pancakes at my friend Irene's house. Her grandmother used to make them for us and we devoured them. They can be eaten for breakfast, as an appetizer or a side dish. Whichever way you choose to eat them, a dollop of sour cream is an absolute must-have for the topping.
