Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • cold water
  • baking soda
  • ricotta cheese
  • freshly grated lemon zest
  • vegetable oil
  • pure vanilla extract
  • sugar
  • 1 whole large egg
Whisk baking soda into cold water in a mixing bowl; add the ricotta, lots of lemon zest, a little vegetable oil, vanilla extract, a spoon of sugar and one large egg, and whisk, breaking up the cheese, until smooth.
  • melted butter
  • freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • self-rising flour
Add melted butter, lemon juice and self-rising flour; stir only until the flour just about disappears.
Rest on the counter about 15 minutes to react and thicken.
Portion with an ice cream scoop onto a lightly greased cast iron skillet or griddle on medium-high; cook roughly 2 to 3 minutes per side, flipping when bubbles break the surface and the edges look dry.
  • butter
  • lemon zest
  • maple syrup
Stack, best on top; finish with butter, a little lemon zest and a drizzle of maple syrup.
