These Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are the perfect balance between sweet and tart.
Spring is here and I am running out of patience. I want to be outside …running, biking, etc. But the weather is too cold and I still need to wear a warm jacket. I miss sitting outside on the patio and finishing my work there. It’s so nice watching the neighbor’s dogs running around and bunny rabbits jumping in our backyard. That’s how I like my spring.
I’ve been doing spring cleaning inside our home lately. I started with the storage area and the kitchen, which took most of my time. The wardrobe came next. I am quite pleased with the results. We ended up with a pile of unused cookbooks and home items. Speaking of which, I will give them away for free, so be sure to check back soon for that!
Spring feels a bit fresh at home now. I lit my candle in the kitchen, which I often do when I clean up, turned on the music, and made another tasty lemon recipe.
Remember this Asian Lemon Chicken I shared a few days ago? Well, here is another amazing lemon recipe. These pancakes are light and airy with a pop of lemon flavor. One bite and you’ll be smiling. The lemon brightens up the entire dish, while the ricotta renders sweetness and lightness to the batter. They are delicious, light, and fluffy lemony pancakes that are guaranteed to brighten any morning! And oh, if you’re looking for a perfect recipe to make all spring and summer, think of nothing else other than these Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
