Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
5. Spoon 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray or butter as needed.
7. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
