Hi all– We’ve eaten more than our share of pancakes around here. But these are the tenderest, lightest pancakes we’ve run across. I’m already planning to make them again when the kids come in for Christmas– I think they’d be a hit!
SIMPLE RICOTTA PANCAKES
1 cup ricotta
3/4 cup buttermilk*
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
garnish: bananas (or your favorite fruit!), pecans, honey (or maple syrup)
In a mixing bowl whisk together the ricotta, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Then stir in the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Heat the griddle on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour the pancakes and turn when bubbles form on the top side. Makes about a dozen pancakes.
Sere hot with fruit, nuts and honey or syrup. Delish!
*If you don’t happen to have buttermilk on hand (who does?), pour 2 tablespoons cider vinegar in the measuring cup, and fill up to the 3/4 mark with milk. Let it sit a couple minutes to thicken.
Wow ! This looks so beautiful & tempting !! It is really interesting to use ricotta in here !!!

Hi Lacey– I liked that were so tender but a little tricky to flip over!! Merriest Christmas to you and your dear family!! xo
I’m terrible at flipping pancakes to start with. I’ll have Mitchell help with that. Thanks for the tip!
ha ha ha! How did your Christmas weekend with your Dad go?? We have a string of Christmas family events too–starting on Wednesday when we drive up to SF to celebrate with 3 of our kids. Hope you all stay healthy and have the sweetest holiday… hugs hugs Lacey!
It was perfect! We really are in a sweet spot where it’s not hard to lug the the kids around, and we can minimize meltdowns. It helps so we can enjoy the time.
Oh how exciting. I know it’ll be a fun beautiful time! I can’t wait to hear about it 🙂
And thanks for the wishes of health. We always need it!
That is great to have the kids portable and happy!! I love it that now I can say to the grand-girls– “Get dressed, brush teeth and comb hair” And they do it!! I remember all those days getting kids ready! Glad you’re off to a merry start!! Christmas hugs Lacey!!
Yes! That stage is life changing. Are you back from your travels yet?
Heading home today after breakfast– I plan to sleep the 7 hours while Larry drives! Looking forward to reading about your Christmas ahead Lacey… xo
Did you sleep the entire drive? I sure hope so, that sounds kinda nice. . .
Mostly– love crashing in the car– Larry just listens to podcasts and keeps driving! Hope you’re having a fun New Years Day Lacey!! xox
Hi Rhonda – I have never made these but I see recipes for them all the time. They look so simple yet delish. Pretty garnishes too! -Kat
Hi Kat– we like them because they are so tender. What are you cooking up for Christmas?? Do people come to your house?? Or do you travel? Hope it’s the best! xox
I love bananas and pancakes. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Hi hi! Yep, with the grand-girls staying with us for a bit, we pretty much have bananas on everything! Fun to hear from you!! Hope you have a blessed Christmas!! xox

Hi Mollie– I loved them because they were so tender and light– but I have to say a little hard to flip!! Have you planned out what you’re cooking for Christmas– hope we hear all about it! xox
I havve no clue! I’ll be GA,so just a sous chef, I’m sure…if that. Maybe I’ll just get to corral the grands!

Great idea to add ricotta, they look light and tasty and bananas are my favorite pancake addition. Merry merry merry! xo
You’re so fun Marcia! We are banana fans too and since our grand-girls have evacuated to our house– I’m off to the store for more milk and bananas pretty often! Merry Christmas!!!
