Step 1
Zest the lemon into a small bowl, then juice it. Set both aside.
Step 2
Whisk ricotta, eggs, and sugar in a medium bowl until just combined.
Step 3
Add flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Stir until no dry flour remains.
Step 4
Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles on contact.
Step 5
Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl to coat. Once foaming stops, pour batter into 4 pancakes, spacing evenly.
Step 6
Cook 2 minutes until the edges look set and bubbles rise to the surface.
Step 7
Flip and cook 1 minute more until the undersides turn light golden.
Step 8
Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter between batches.
Step 9
Serve hot with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of whipped cream.
