Ricotta pancakes!
Alyssa raved about these. I can always count on her to steer me in the direction of delicious recipes to try.
Tender and rich is how I would describe these ricotta pancakes.
If you're looking for something more "light and fluffy," I'm going to, very gently, turn you towards my Buttermilk Pancakes recipe -- but only after you've tried these ricotta pancakes, that is!
This recipe is a variation of the one Alyssa shared with me from Let the Baking Begin Blog.
Alyssa recommended adding some lemon extract in place of the vanilla so I did --
Yeah, it was pretty awesome.
There are so many varieties of extracts these days -- lemon,coconut, orange, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice. You name it.
Experiment and let me know how it goes!
