Ricotta Pancakes

Getting up to no alarm, staying comfy in your pajamas, lounging with the newspaper, strolling to the park, these weekend activities require breakfast to be appreciated. There are many types of pancakes out there, from your typical batters handed down through the family to even quick and easy mixes. These Ricotta Pancakes are light, fluffy and decadent. I believe they are the perfect accompaniment to those summer fruits and berries. Really they’re great at any time of year, especially when you can break out the griddle and have little to no clean up!
