Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

By Heather 18 Comments

We received a complimentary copy of The Chew Approved.

I’ll be upfront and tell you right off the bat that I always order eggs for breakfast. As tempting as pancakes and french toast may be, nine out of ten times I won’t give in. That is unless I find something extra special on the menu. When I spot Lemon Ricotta Pancakes on the pages, I’m physically unable to order anything else.

The Chew was a great show concept and I watched it for many years. Some of my favorite recipes that I’ve discovered haven’t come from the show hosts, but the guests that have come on the show. The cookbook, The Chew Approved features favorite recipes from viewers and it is a worthy buy, even for this one recipe: Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Ding ding! We found a winner.

When you hear about ricotta pancakes, a heavy meal is what comes to mind. These pancakes however, are surprisingly light. I replaced the whole milk ricotta and milk with low fat, and that may have had a hand in it.

The pancakes by themselves are delicious, but the lemon curd takes them over the top making them sweet and decadent (no syrup required). I found the lemon curd at Trader Joe’s and when blueberries are not in season, I simply defrost a handful from the freezer.

Packed with lemon flavor, these delicious ricotta pancakes are light and fluffy. They are rich and decadent, yet very easy to make.

Find this recipe and many other delicious winners in The Chew Approved. It’s a #1 best seller, so I think many others agree. There are many ore treasures among the pages and even though this show is no longer, the cookbook is still available so the recipes live on.

    That combo looks AMAZING. Ricotta is kind of my favorite cheese and I never would have thought to try this combination.

    Interesting. Never thought of doing more of a savory style pancake. Might have to sneak this one past the family and see what they think.
