Ingredients

• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil or butter (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or butter.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it into a circle shape. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

Serve the pancakes warm, garnished with chopped fresh chives if desired, and enjoy immediately.
