How to Make Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes

In a mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix all ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2:
In a different bowl, add the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and oil. Next, add the ricotta cheese, sugar, and lemon zest. Gently whisk until combined.

Add the flour mixture to the buttermilk mixture. Fold until combined with a few small lumps remaining in the batter. Make sure not to overmix it.
