Tips:
- Make sure your ricotta cheese is well-drained to avoid adding extra moisture to the batter.
- For a more intense citrus flavor, you can increase the amount of orange and lemon zest slightly.
- Don't overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps as this will help make the pancakes fluffier.
- Cook the pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook evenly without burning.
- Keep the cooked pancakes warm in an oven set to low heat while you finish cooking the rest of the batch.
Citrus Ricotta Pancakes offer a wonderful way to start your day with a burst of freshness and creaminess.
