After a long winter these pancakes are a welcome ray of sunshine. When my children were little & we ate the lemon pancakes, my son could not pronounce the words lemon ricotta; so he called them sunshine pancakes. And that has been their name ever since. Seems appropriate :)

How To Make sunshine ricotta pancakes with strawberries

Step 1

In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Step 2

In a medium bowl whisk together ricotta cheese, whole egg, egg whites, vanilla, lemon juice, zest and oil. Whisk until well combined.
Step 3

Gently fold the ricotta mixture into the dry ingredients.
Step 4

Do not over mix. Batter will be thick.
Step 5

Heat griddle, spray with a non stick cooking spray.
Step 6

Spoon approximately a 1/3 cup batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until browned and beginning to set, approximately 2 minutes. Flip pancakes, cook on the other side. Repeat, until batter is gone
Step 7

Top with a small pat of butter, sliced strawberries and just a little maple syrup
Step 8

** These sunshine pancakes are puffy & light & have a wonderful refreshing taste of lemon. The addition of the fresh berries and just a drizzle of maple syrup makes these pancakes our all time favorite. I hope you enjoy them too
