Here's a ricotta cheese-and-citrus twist on a favourite American breakfast. They're great plain but also super topped with mixed berries and a drizzle of lemon juice.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

1½ cup(s)

Baking soda

1 tsp(s)

Table salt

½ tsp(s)

1% low-fat buttermilk

1 cup(s)

Part-skim ricotta cheese

½ cup(s)

Egg

2 large, yolks and whites separated

Sugar

2 tbsp(s), granulated

Lemon zest

2 tbsp(s), or increase to taste

Canola oil

2 tsp(s)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together buttermilk, egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest and ricotta cheese by hand.
  3. In a clean bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
  4. Add dry ingredients to buttermilk mixture until just combined; gently fold in egg whites until they are just incorporated.
  5. Coat a large nonstick griddle or pan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Spoon batter into pan in batches using 60ml (1/4-cup) batter for each pancake; cook until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove pancakes to a tray in a warm oven and repeat with remaining ingredients (being careful not to spray cooking spray into open flame). Serving size: 2 pancakes

Notes

You can thin the batter out with a little water if desired.
