Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Positano Lemons: Positively the Best

I was perusing cookbooks at a local bookstore and there was this recipe from a BC B&B, Ivy Cottage Bed & Breakfast. This was their contribution:

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cup (4 ounces) ricotta cheese
2 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 large eggs - separated
1 1/3 cup milk
Grated peel of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
Butter for the griddle

Directions:

1. Whip egg whites.

2. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients with a fork until blended, do not over-mix.

3. Heat griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease griddle with butter. As soon as the butter is melted, pour pancake batter onto griddle. Cook until batter begins to bubble or pancakes are golden. Flip and finish the other side. Serve pancakes warm with pure maple syrup
