How to Make Lemon Ricotta Pancakes With Rhubarb Sauce

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the rhubarb sauce: In a saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, brown sugar, and water.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and has released its juices. Stir occasionally.
  8. Serve the pancakes immediately, topped with the warm rhubarb sauce. Enjoy!
