Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Frying Pan
  • Whisk
  • Blender
  • Food Processor
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 lemon juiced and zested
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon brown butter

Instructions
 

  • Add the ricotta cheese to a food processor and blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl when needed.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until combined.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk together the blended ricotta, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and butter.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and combined.
  • Heat a large skillet or electric griddle over medium heat. Add a bit of butter if desired.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet, leaving an inch between pancakes. Cook until the pancakes bubble on the top and edges, about 2 minutes.
  • Flip and cook for another minute or two until golden and set.
  • For the lemon glaze, whisk all glaze ingredients together until smooth.
  • Top the pancakes with some chopped bittersweet chocolate and the lemon glaze.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Tip 2: These pancakes freeze well! Allow them to cool completely and stack with parchment paper in between.
  • Tip 3: Serve with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
  • Tip 4: Add in your favorite mix-ins like blueberries or bananas.
  • Tip 5: For a more decadent treat, serve with whipped cream and additional chocolate.
