# Ingredients:

→ Batter

01 - 2 ml vanilla extract
02 - 15 ml fresh lemon juice
03 - 1 tablespoon lemon zest
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 240 ml buttermilk
06 - 125 g ricotta cheese
07 - 1 g salt
08 - 2 g baking soda
09 - 4 g baking powder
10 - 13 g granulated sugar
11 - 125 g all-purpose flour

→ For Cooking and Serving

12 - Fresh mint, for garnish
13 - Fresh lemon wedges, for garnish
14 - Maple syrup, to serve
15 - Butter or oil, for cooking

# Instructions:

01 - Stack those pancakes while they're hot, splash on some maple syrup, and finish ’em off with fresh mint and a slice of lemon.
02 - Scoop about 60 ml of batter for each pancake into your pan. Let them cook till bubbly on top, about 2–3 minutes. Flip over, cook for a minute or two more till they’re brown and ready.
03 - Get your non-stick skillet going over medium heat. Swirl in a dab of butter or a little oil till it’s coated nicely.
04 - Dump the wet stuff into the dry bowl. Gently fold it all together—you want it mixed but lumpy is totally fine.
05 - Grab another bowl and just stir up ricotta, buttermilk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla till blended and smooth.
06 - Toss salt, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and flour into a big bowl. Use a whisk to mix them all up.

# Notes:

01 - Don’t overwork the batter if you want them extra soft and fluffy! Makes a chill way to start a lazy weekend morning.
