Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk or hand mixer.
- Non-stick griddle or pan.
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Silicone spatula.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour.

- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Instructions
- Whisk flour, sugar, and baking powder together. Add a pinch of salt. Set this bowl aside.
- In another bowl, mix the ricotta and milk. Add egg yolks and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl. They should form soft peaks. This makes the pancakes very light.

Notes
- Use room temperature ricotta cheese.
