Recipe - Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

3 lg Eggs; separated
Three fourths cup Ricotta cheese
4 tablespoon Unsalted butter; melted
One half teaspoon Vanilla
One fourth cup Flour
2 tablespoon Sugar
Lemon zest; of 1 lemon
One fourth teaspoon Salt

1. In clean dry medium bowl, using clean dry beaters, whip egg whites until
they hold firm peaks, and set aside.

2. In another medium bowl, beat ricotta, butter, yolks and vanilla until
wellblended, and set aside.

3. In small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, zest and salt. Using rubber
spatula, stir dry ingredients into ricotta mixture. Spoon small amount of
egg whites into batter and mix with spatula. Gently fold in remainder of
whites.

4. If necessary, lightly butter, oil, or spray griddle. If using electric
griddle, set to 350F. Preheat oven to 200F if you want to keep pancakes
warm.

5. Spoon 3 tbsp of batter onto griddle for each pancake. When undersides of
pancakes are golden and tops show a bubble or two, carefully flip. The
first sides of pancakes need to cook and set a little longer than other
recipes or they will be hard to flip. Cook until other sides are brown.
Serve or keep warm.

"Feathery light, eggy and lemony, reminiscent of a souffle. Dust with icing
sugar and garnish with fruit."
