kcalWhen I was a little girl, my grandmother used to cook these pancakes for me for breakfast, the taste of maple syrup with lemon is associated for me with my childhood and those sunny carefree days.
Pancakes is a classic, but this recipe contains lemon which is an excellent source of vitamin C (an antioxidant that helps to protect your body from free radicals and it’s important for your immune system). Also few people know it, but citric acid in lemons may lower risk of kidney stones.
Ricotta is a fresh, soft cheese made from whey, a by-product of cheese production. Ricotta is commonly used in Italian cuisine, but it is certainly a star in this pancakes recipe, which is not very much Italian 😉
