Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour sifted
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest finely grated
  • 1/4 cup mixed fresh herbs chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs beaten

Chive Yogurt Drizzle

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup chives chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. 2 In another bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, olive oil, lemon zest, and fresh herbs until well blended.
  3. 3 Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. 4 Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, and lightly grease with olive oil.
  5. 5 Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. 6 Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a warm plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. 7 For the chive yogurt drizzle, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped chives, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.
  8. 8 Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with the chive yogurt sauce, and garnish with additional herbs if desired.
