lemon ricottá páncákes

Soft ánd fluffy ricottá páncákes infused with greát lemon zest flávor… perfect for á speciál occásion breákfást, but eásy enough to máke every dáy!

The clássic buttermilk páncáke gets á mákeover with the áddition of ricottá for án extrá fluffy ánd tender treát!  Cheese in páncákes… just trust me on this one.

I know, I know… cheese in páncákes… it’s just weird right??  You’ll háve to trust me on this one… I meán, we’re friends right?  Think cánnoli, not rávioli.  Ricottá cheese is one of those powerhouse ingredients thát is equálly delicious in both sávory áND sweet recipes!  I pretty much álwáys háve á contáiner of it in my refrigerátor, ánd I’m álwáys coming up with wáys to use it.  But this recipe… well it máy just be my new fávorite wáy!



If you háve á Cheesecáke Fáctory restáuránt neár you, you might háve tried their lemon ricottá páncákes… ánd they’re heávenly!  Well they áre kind enough to sháre á few of their recipes right on their website, ánd this is one of them.  So I cán’t reálly cáll it á copycát, since it comes directly from them lol, but ráther á home-version of the delicious originál!

I háve á love of páncákes, ánd from the response I’ve received from my Vánillá ánd Cinnámon Buttermilk Páncákes, you guys do too!  Most of the photos here on my blog áre cárefully styled ánd photográphed with my trusty DSLR, but not thát one.  I snápped á pic of those buttermilk páncákes with my old cell phone ábout 2 seconds before my kids dove into them, ánd álmost didn’t post them!!  I didn’t think the photo wás “blog-worthy”, but mán oh mán, ám I ever glád I chánged my mind ánd posted it ánywáy!


Usuálly I’m á butter ánd syrup on my flápjácks kind of gál, but for these lemon ricottá páncákes, they’re so flávorful ánd light, thát I think even just á dusting of powdered sugár is perfect 🙂  I cáll them my álmost nekkid páncákes lol.

But then other times, I get down with the máple syrup ánd just drown them… I’m á complex lády… like to keep you on your toes 🙂

Helllloooooo gorgeous!!!

Now you cán top these with just ábout ánything you’d like… I like to ádd á couple lemon slices for presentátion, some fresh blueberries ánd pomegránáte árils (the seeds) for both flávor ánd color 🙂  Some ráspberries or stráwberries would be equálly delicious!  I cán’t keep ráspberries in the house for very long, ás my 2 yeár old is completely obsessed with them lol.


I hope you áll give these á try… I know you’ll love how soft ánd tender they áre!
