Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Mardi Gras Recipes. (Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes Recipe). If these pancakes were any lighter, they would float off the plate--and I didn't even separate the eggs and whip the whites. Also, I used water instead of milk--and I liked them better that way. I like to serve these with a pat of butter, a pinch of lemon zest, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
