  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt

  2. Mix the ricotta, milk, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
