These sound so delish :). Will definitely try this weekend. If I wanted to use gluten free flour or say almond flour, would I use the same amount? Thanks
You can sub almond flour or gluten free flour 1:1 in this recipe. Here is a link if you want to make your own gluten free flour blend: http://www.glutenfreelyfrugal.com/2012/02/09/make-your-own-gluten-free-flour-mix/
Thank you, Regan :)
Oh my gosh these look WONDERFUL! I love lemon ricotta pancakes and raspberry is absolutely the best topping choice. Bravo!
Thanks, Christina!
these sound delicious! i would love to try making these, but am confused on the .67 cup, .67 teaspoon etc.. my spoons & cups don’t exactly have those measurements. is this recipe the kind that can be flexible with the measurement of ingredients or does it have to be precise?
Hi Mindy– .67 = 2/3 and .33 = 1/3. We use decimals because they are easier to add when we create the grocery lists and recipe cards. Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions!
How are these vegetarian?
Hi Amanda– They are vegetarian because they do not contain any meat. Because they contain honey and dairy products, however, they are not vegan.
These look incredible! Can the raspberry butter be frozen after it’s made?
Thanks, Maha! The raspberry butter can be frozen in a separate quart size bag.
Errrr. I just made these and they came out flat and rubbery instead of thick and fluffy. Is their texture supposed to be like a regular pancake?
I also noticed right away the lemon seems barely there even though I added a 1/2 tsp of lemon extract as well as the juice and zest.
Hi Amber– I’m sorry to hear these didn’t turn out for you. When I make this recipe the pancakes have been a pretty typical texture. I wouldn’t consider them thick pancakes, but they haven’t been thin and rubbery, either. I’m sorry they turned out that way for you. I was going for a subtle lemon flavor, but if you want more lemon flavoring, you can always slightly increase the amount of lemon juice and zest, or add more lemon extract.
Tried it, loved it! Even my oh-so-picky toddler ate everything on her plate! That almost NEVER happens!
