  • “This recipe was easy to throw together and very yummy. I like cooking off the beaten path and this was right up my alley.”

  • “These tasted very good but the texture seemed custardy…the middles never seemed to get done.”

  • “OMG!!!These are so light and fluffy with a lovely lemon undertone. I made “Recipe #180628″ and used 2% milk in the pancake recipe.The balance of flavours is spot on!We had a few pancakes left over and they are wonderful cold with a light sprinkling of sugar.I already have the whole milk for the ricotta on my shopping list again…just for these pancakes.Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe.BTW…I am NOT a pancake lover…but these….oh my!”

  • “I made my pancakes a little too large, so they didn’t cook through, but the taste was really quite nice.I will definitely make these again!”

  • “Oh my Mille, this was sooooo good, wish I could give it 10 stars.Beating the egg whites made it so fluffy and the combination of tart lemon with the ricotta and sour cream made for a heavenly taste sensation.I topped with a warm compote of blueberries and strawberries from the garden and it was lovely.Thanks for a recipe that is special enough for company yet simple enough to have often.”

  • “these are absolutely fantastic so light and fluffy!the cake flour is what sets these apart from any other, I omitted the cinnamon but I did use the vanilla and I used buttermilk, I made these for my DH for lunch and he was in pancake heaven, I will keep this in my favorites to make many more times, thank you MRSJSPANTS for posting such a great recipe!”
