My husband and I recently celebrated our fifth anniversary at the Four Seasons and we had the most wonderful breakfast of lemon ricotta pancakes. I have been trying different recipes in hopes of duplicating our delicious breakfast and think this recipe is perfect. These pancakes are so light and sweet. They will easily become a breakfast favorite.
