- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 3/4 cup milk

- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
- Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor.
