Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

By Heather

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.

It’s not often that I get to watch daytime t.v., but the Chew is one of my favorite shows and I’ve been known to record it. 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. So when I heard about this new cookbook called The Chew Approved which features favorite recipes from viewers, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Then I saw it: 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.

    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.
