Very yummy pancakes!! I beat the egg whites separately to get fluffier pancakes .. I got 2-3 servings out of the complete recipe .. -
These are the yummiest pancakes! I was crossing my fingers not to ruin this dish since ricotta cheese is quite expensive. The pancakes turned out wonderful! Very rich and comfy. Oh, and these are definetely not enough for four; I think I can finish the whole platter by myself ;P -
Wow, these are good! Very intense lemon flavour. Two of us polished them off, but they were our entire brunch. I liked them with maple syrup but Karl thought blueberry sauce would send them into orbit...I agree! Next time, blueberry sauce! -
Had to throw the entire bowl down the drain! Pancakes were soggy and did not form well at all! Followed recipe yet these were so bad, embarrassed to serve even the first one!!!!

Firstly I'll say that the flavour of these is excellent. However I had some problems with the recipe. The ricotta would not blend in and stayed in little lumps, which is probably the fault of it being too firm a ricotta perhaps, so be sure to use a soft one. The lumps were not offputting however and were quite tasty and cheesey. The main problem I had was the first few pancakes were like hard flat lumps, not the least bit fluffy, wouldn't cook properly and were quite dissapointing (I still ate them, tasted O.K). I added some baking powder to the remaining mix and the remaining pancakes turned out perfect and fluffy. I served these with maple syrup and stewed apples.
