Orange Ricotta Pancakes
Topped with a delightful orange butter recipe.
These Orange Ricotta Pancakes are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any time you want something special.
They are fluffy and delicious, with a hint of orange flavor. The ricotta cheese makes them extra creamy and delicious. The orange butter really amps up the orange flavor.
When you’re making these your kitchen will smell so good! One of my favorite pancakes to make.
