Fluffy Orange Ricotta Pancake Recipe
These fluffy ricotta pancakes are packed with citrus orange flavor from fresh orange zest and juice. They are light, fluffy and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 4 Tbsp. Butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 Cup Buttermilk
- 2 Tbsp. Orange zest
- 1/3 Cup Orange juice
- 1 Cup Ricotta (part skim or whole)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together. Whisk and set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, add the eggs, ricotta, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, buttermilk, and cooled melted butter. Whisk until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just combined. Be sure not to overmix, it is okay if there are some lumps. If possible, let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a pat of butter (can replace with oil), and ladle the pancake batter onto the hot skillet, creating 6 large pancakes or 8 smaller pancakes. Cook the pancakes until the edges are set and the bottom of the pancakes are golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for until the pancakes are cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes and serve immediately with your favorite pancake toppings. Enjoy!
