Lemon Ricotta Pancakes & Raspberry Maple Sauce
Step 1: In large mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks. Mix in ricotta cheese, sugar, flour and lemon peel.
Step 2: In a separate large bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until white glossy peaks form. Stir 1/4 amount into the ricotta mixture, then fold the two mixtures together gently.
Step 3: In large nonstick skillet, melt butter. Fold butter into the batter. Drop mixture by tablespoon into the hot buttered skillet. Flatten pancakes slightly with the back of the spoon.
Step 4: Cook about 2 minutes per side until lightly browned and cooked through.
Sauce
