- 1
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

In a second bowl, whisk ricotta, eggs, milk, orange zest, and honey until combined but not perfectly smooth.
- 3
Fold the wet mixture into the flour just until no dry streaks remain. Rest for 5 minutes.

Heat a lightly oiled nonstick pan over medium-low. Spoon in small rounds and cook until bubbles appear and the edges look set.

Flip once and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Adjust the heat if the surface colors before the center cooks.
Cooking Tips
- Grate only the orange-colored zest; the white pith tastes bitter.
- Keep finished pancakes warm on a tray rather than stacking them in a covered bowl.
