Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Sorry for the lack of posts in the last 2 years.  We have had some testing times in our household.  Mum moved in to stay while her house was built,  Crash test dummy 1 was really a fly in fly out with work and Crash test dummy 2 well he has grown up and has his own life.  Add in a dog to the mix and the cats didn't really love it.  There were some ups, some downs and a lot of laughs in the middle.

Mum has now moved into her house, taking the dog with her, CTD 1 is back home full time and CTD 2 well he's still all grown up and visits occasionally.

So I have 2 CTD's here for breakfast and I have wanted to try this recipe for a while, bonus I have all the ingredients in the fridge, so here goes nothing...

Update:  Straight from the CTD's mouths... Approved and a keeper!
