Instructions
Whisk the eggs, ricotta, milk, vanilla, lemon zest, stevia glycerite, coconut flour, and baking soda in a medium bowl until no dry flour remains. The batter should become smooth, thick, and scoopable as the coconut flour absorbs the liquid.
Warm a nonstick double-burner griddle over medium heat, keeping the heat no higher, then coat it with half the butter. The butter should bubble gently without smoking.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter onto the buttered griddle for each pancake, leaving space between the rounds. Compact pancakes hold together more reliably than large ones.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once the bottoms are golden brown and the pancakes have puffed. The edges should look set and less glossy before the spatula slides underneath.
Butter the griddle with the remaining butter and cook the second batch the same way. Serve the pancakes while warm, when their centers are at their softest.
Notes
Flipping tip: Keep the portions small and slide a wide, thin spatula completely beneath each round only after the underside turns golden and the edges appear set and matte.Ingredient handling: Check the ricotta before mixing. If excess moisture has collected in the container, drain it briefly in a fine strainer to keep the batter thick and stable.Storage: Cool leftovers on a wire rack to release steam, layer them between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container, and refrigerate promptly.Reheating: Warm gently in a toaster oven or on low to medium microwave power to maintain a soft interior without drying out the edges.Nutrition information is an estimate based on common ingredients and serving sizes.
