Creating Lemon Ricotta Poppy Seed Pancakes is a breeze when you follow these clear steps:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and poppy seeds.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the ricotta, eggs, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
3. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Keep Warm: Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a preheated oven while cooking the remaining batter.
8. Serve: Stack the pancakes and serve warm with maple syrup and fresh berries as desired.

These simple steps will lead you to fluffy, flavorful pancakes that everyone will rave about!
