• reating these pancakes is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a breakfast that’ll entice everyone.

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

• Gather all your ingredients in one place. Measure out what you need. Prepping your workspace makes the cooking process smooth.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

• In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, whole milk, eggs, lemon zest, juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk these together until you have a smooth mixture. This combination brings together rich flavors that will make your pancakes shine.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and sugar. The baking powder helps the pancakes rise, providing that fluffy texture.

Step 4: Combine Both Mixtures

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently just until moistened. Be careful not to over-mix—lumps are okay! Overworking the batter can lead to dense pancakes, and that’s not what we want.

Step 5: Heat the Griddle

• Preheat your griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease it lightly with butter to ensure the pancakes won’t stick and to give them a lovely golden-brown color.

Step 6: Cook the Pancakes

• Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7: Serve

• Serve the pancakes warm with a generous dollop of lemon curd, fresh raspberries on top, and a light dusting of powdered sugar. You can add toasted almonds for a slight crunch. Enjoy your culinary creation!
