This Dutch Baby Pancake with Lemon Ricotta Recipe produces a rich, custardy dish studded with blueberries and raspberries and served with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. It wasn’t as light and fluffy as some Dutch Baby Pancakes I’ve had, instead it had a rich, custardy texture with a light lemon flavor.
Why We Love the Recipe:
What’s not to love about this Dutch Baby Pancake with Lemon Ricotta? Firstly, it’s incredibly simple to whip up, requiring just a handful of basic ingredients that you likely already have on hand. Secondly, the flavor combination is unbeatable – the bright citrus notes from the lemon perfectly complement the subtle sweetness of the pancake, while the creamy ricotta adds a luxurious richness.

It looks beautiful and you make it sound so good that I gotta pin this to find later when I finally buy a cast iron skillet.
Barbara Schieving
Thanks Valerie – definitely give it a try.

This looks so good! My cast iron stuff is buried with the camping gear. Is there an alternate pan that would work?

Dutch babies are one of my family’s favorite breakfast. Yes, they are easy to make. Adding ricotta is brilliant, and I have some that needs to be used. Soon. I always keep frozen berries, for the winter months. This is perfect. Once again, thanks!

Custardy and delicious! I think I like it better for tea time or dessert than breakfast, though. Maybe if I’d had it with a side of bacon or sausage I might feel differently, though. Thanks for posting! P.S. I made it in a 10″ pan and so I had to cook it 10 min. longer until the center was done. Just sharing in case someone else doesn’t have as big a pan as the recipe calls for.
Barbara Schieving
Thanks Rebecca! Well of course, everything’s better with bacon 🙂 Thanks for the tip about the longer cook time on the 10″ pan.
