Ingredients

• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Neutral cooking oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Stir the melted butter into the pancake batter.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, and lightly coat the surface with oil. Once the surface is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a circular shape.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges appear set. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh fruit for a perfect breakfast or brunch.
