Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
These lemon ricotta pancakes combine Galbani® Ricotta with lemon zest and maple syrup in a stacked breakfast dish. The ricotta creates light, fluffy pancakes, while the sweetened ricotta filling adds creamy layers between each stack. Finished with lemon zest, confectioners’ sugar, and maple syrup, they make a delightful addition to breakfast or brunch.

« Loved these pancakes, light and fluffy, pluse the cheese was an added treat. I mixed some zest into the filling too. Will make again as everyone liked them. »
