Time 35m

Yield 25 pancakes, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1/3 cup nonfat sour cream or 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon Smart Balance butter spread or 1 tablespoon other regular tub margarine, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 2 small lemons, I use a microplaner)
1 egg
4 egg whites
3/4 cup cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
lemon curd or maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix ricotta, sour cream, regular tub margarine, vanilla, buttermilk, sugar, cinnamon, salt, lemon zest, and one whole egg until incorporated.
  • In a mixer fitted with a whip attachment, beat four egg whites to stiff peaks.
  • Sift flour and baking powder into the bowl of ricotta and other wet ingredients, and stir until barely combined.
  • In several batches, gently fold egg whites into the batter (do not re-stir the batter again after this, or it will deflate).
  • Ladle approximately ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto prepared griddle. Cook until bottom is golden brown and bubbles start to form. Flip and cook second side until done.
  • We love these topped with lemon curd, but you could also try them with maple syrup.
