Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

I’m in love with these.

I had similar pancakes during our stay in Reynold’s Mansion and I couldn’t get them out of my head. Just kept thinking and dreaming about them.

And I think these pancakes were even a little better than the ones we had there.

They were just soo fluffy, sweet with a light tang from the lemon and then slaughtered with syrup and butter. I am drooling just thinking about them!

Even the husband loved them and he’s not a lemon lover at all so you know these are good!
