I grew up eating these pancakes and have been making them for my girls since they were little. This is not a typical ricotta pancake recipe, as I like to use both ricotta, and yogurt in the batter. One batch makes 12-14 small pancakes. I make these about 3 times a week, as they are a household favorite. We eat them for breakfast, and often, as a bedtime snack. You can also add lemon zest to the batter for lemon ricotta pancakes. It is quite delicious!

- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese

- Heat 2 tsp grape seed oil on medium heat in a frying pan
