Lemon Ricotta Silver Dollar Pancakes

We love these lemon ricotta silver dollar pancakes.  Lemon Ricotta Silver Dollar Pancakes are simple, easy to make, and taste delicious. They are smaller pancakes in size but will yield about 10 to 12 silver-dollar pancakes. 

They are just as easy to make as our apple cinnamon pancakes and our lemon blueberry crumble bars.

Serve them with fresh blueberries and maple syrup for a scrumptious breakfast to satisfy your special loved ones.

 

What You’ll Need:

• all-purpose flour
• lemon zest  
• baking soda and  baking powder
• 2 egg whites
• granulated sugar
• vanilla extract
• water and some milk  (or non-dairy milk)
• ricotta cheese (whole milk)
• fresh blueberries and maple syrup for serving

Directions To Make These Lemon Ricotta Pancakes:

Our full recipe card is located at the bottom. But first, let’s go over the steps to show you what’s involved before you begin.

1.  In a medium-size mixing bowl, mix the flour, lemon zest, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. 

2.  Make a well in the center, then add vanilla extract, egg whites, water, and milk.  Whisk all the ingredients until well blended.  

3.  Next, stir the ricotta cheese into the mixture.  Do not over-blend.

4.  Spray a large griddle or non-stick skillet, with cooking spray and over medium heat.  Using a 1/4 cup measure or large spoon, drop the batter onto the hot pan.  Drop as many as you can, and make them into silver dollar pancakes, about 3 inches in width.

5.  Cook for 2 minutes or more until lightly golden brown, turn them over, and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until cooked through.

6.  Heat some maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat until syrup is warm.  Serve pancakes with fresh blueberries and with warm maple syrup at the table. Serves 4 to 5

Options for Serving

• Top with fresh strawberries, raspberries or blackberries.
• Try it with honey instead of maple syrup.
• Top it with a slice of butter.

Notes & Tips:

• Another bonus feature – these pancakes are similar to a cheese “blintz” but with only half the calories.
• If you have extra time, you can whip up the egg whites with the sugar until they double in volume and form stiff peaks.  Then fold the egg whites into the mixture. 
• This will make these pancakes light and flurry with a golden crust.  YUM!
