Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg (room temperature)
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
¾ cup 2% milk
½ teaspoon grated orange zest
½ cup orange juice
¼ cup melted butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional toppings: Maple syrup and confectioners' sugar

Method:
  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Prepare the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg, ricotta, milk, orange zest, orange juice, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth and well blended.
  3. Combine: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened (be careful not to overmix).
  4. Cook the pancakes: Lightly grease a griddle and heat it over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and begin to pop, and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown as well.
  5. Serve: If desired, serve the pancakes with maple syrup and a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar.
