  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • zest from 1 - 2 lemons

In large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, lemon zest, and baking powder. Set aside.
In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a large 4 cup glass measure or bowl, whisk together egg yolks, ricotta cheese, milk, and lemon juice. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients then, gently fold in the whipped egg whites in thirds.
Heat nonstick griddle or pan sprayed with cooking spray. Drop batter by 1/4th cups to make pancakes. Batter is a bit thick, so drop in a circular motion and spread around to make pancake.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve with butter and warm maple syrup!
