Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F and place a 7-10" cast iron pan inside to heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together ricotta, egg, milk, sugar, melted ghee, and vanilla extract until combined.
Sprinkle baking powder and salt over the mixture and whisk again to combine.
Fold in the flour with a spatula until you have a thick, lumpy batter.
Carefully remove the hot cast iron pan and add ghee, swirling to coat the bottom.
Spoon a scant 1/2 cup of batter per pancake into the pan, leaving space for them to puff up.
Bake for 9 minutes, then flip each pancake carefully.
Add more ghee if necessary and return the pan to the oven for another 6-8 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve warm with butter and syrup.

Notes

Ensure the cast iron pan is properly heated for optimal cooking results.
Use fresh ricotta for best flavor and texture.
Adjust the cooking time as needed based on your oven’s heat.
