Cooking Steps
- Arrange bacon strips in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake bacon in the top of the oven until crispy and cooked through, 8-12 min.**
- Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lemon.
- Thinly slice chives.
- Stir together flour, 2 tsp sugar, half the lemon zest, baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt in a large bowl.
- Add egg, chives, ricotta, 1/2 tbsp lemon juice and milk. Whisk to combine. (NOTE: Don't over-whisk the batter. The batter should be slightly thick, this creates fluffier pancakes!
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp butter and swirl the pan until melted.
- Using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake, pour batter for 2 pancakes into the pan. Cook on one side until bubbles begin to form on pancake surface,1-2 min.
- Using a spatula, flip and cook other side until golden-brown, 1-2 min.
- Transfer pancakes to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Repeat with 1/2 tbsp butter and 1/4 cup batter per pancake until no batter remains.
- Divide pancakes and bacon between plates.
- Drizzle with maple syrup.
