Delight overnight guests w/Fancy Lemon & Ricotta Pancakes in the morning!


If you are trying to impress anyone with breakfast, these pancakes are the way to do it! They look so much more time consuming than they are. & your guest(s) will feel like they are staying at a fancy French B&B. I have even made these the night before when I am having overnight guests, put them in the fridge and then heated them in the oven or microwave in the morning for a no fuss fussy (looking & tasting) breakfast!
