Ingredients
Instructions
Whisk together 1 cup sugar, water, zest, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat; simmer until it reaches a thin syrup-like consistency, 5–7 minutes. Glaze will thicken as it cools.
Whisk together flour, 2 Tbsp. sugar, pepper, and baking powder. Whisk in milk and egg; fold in ricotta.
Preheat an electric griddle to 350° or a nonstick skillet over medium; coat with nonstick spray.
Drop a scant ¼ cup batter per pancake, onto griddle; cook until bubbles appear on top and bottoms brown, 2–4 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until bottoms brown, 2–3 minutes more. Repeat procedure with remaining batter.
Serve pancakes with Lemonade Glaze.
