Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Jump to recipe

If you have never been to Stella in Silverlake at Sunset Junction, make time and go. Go for breakfast, have some coffee from Intelligentsia (I have a passionate love affair going on with their Decaf Librarians blend coffee, despite the empty promises it makes because it’s decaf) and order yourself some Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. This is a leisurely pursuit, take a book or someone you enjoy talking to, they take a while to arrive. I didn’t understand why until I made them. Their unique texture and fluffy, delicious flavor can really only be achieved by gently folding the ingredients together which makes this recipe labor intensive, but oh so worth it. I don’t have the time I would like on my hands for leisurely brunches at Stella so I sought out this recipe (Thank You Chow.com – this is their recipe, I’ve added a couple of notes that I’ve found help them turn out well) for the days I crave these. Now my favorite guests get to share in the deliciousness and none of us has to get dressed for the outside world. 🙂
