Ingredients

• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet, leaving some space between each pancake.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm. Repeat with remaining batter, regreasing the skillet as needed.

Step 8

Serve pancakes immediately with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
