Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar or equivalent
• 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4 large or extra-large eggs
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided use
• 1-1/3 cups milk or non-dairy alternative
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• Zest of one large lemon
• 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add 3 tablespoons olive oil, the milk, ricotta, vanilla, and lemon zest.
Whisk well, then fold in the lemon juice.
Using a large spatula, scrape the liquid mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and blend thoroughly, being sure to incorporate all the flour into the batter.
Heat a griddle over medium heat.
When ready, brush the griddle with the final tablespoon of olive oil.
Use an ice cream scoop to make as many 4-inch pancakes as will fit without crowding.
Cook for about 3 minutes, until the edges start to firm, then flip the pancakes and continue cooking for another 3 minutes.
Repeat until you’ve used up all the batter.
