Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ricotta
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
- Whisk together the ricotta, eggs, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and sugar in a large bowl until creamy and slightly airy.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk to distribute evenly.
- Fold the dry ingredients gently into the ricotta mixture until just combined, with a few lumps remaining.
