==Ingredients==
*5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for coating the frying pan and serving
*1 cup whole milk
*1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
*1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
*1 teaspoon fine salt
*3 large eggs, yolks and whites separated
*2 tablespoons granulated sugar
*1 tablespoon packed finely grated lemon zest (from about 2 to 3 medium lemons)
*1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
*3/4 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
*Powdered sugar, fruit, or maple syrup, for serving (optional)

==Instructions==
#Place butter and milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until butter has melted; remove from heat and let cool slightly.
#In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt; set aside.
#Place egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in a quarter of the milk-butter mixture (this will temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling), then whisk in the remaining milk-butter mixture until smooth.
#Add the reserved flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined (do not overmix); set aside.
#In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites to soft peaks (they should bend like soft-serve ice cream; make sure the bowl and whisk are perfectly clean with no traces of grease, or the whites will not whip properly). Halfway through whisking them, sprinkle in the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using the rubber spatula, fold the whites into the reserved batter until just combined.
#Gently fold the ricotta into the batter, being careful not to break down the texture of the cheese (the batter will be lumpy and streaked with ricotta); set aside.
#Heat a large nonstick frying pan, griddle, or seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat until hot, about 4 minutes. Test to see if the pan is hot enough by sprinkling a couple of drops of cold water in it: If the water bounces and sputters, the pan is ready to use.
#Lightly coat the pan’s surface with butter, then use a 1/4-cup measure to scoop the batter into the pan. Cook until bubbles form on top of the pancakes, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the bottoms are golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately with powdered sugar, fruit, butter, or maple syrup.
