Notes

How to Store & Reheat Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Once they’ve cooled, stack them with sheets of parchment paper in between each pancake, and place them in an airtight container or resealable bag before storing them in the fridge.
When you’re ready to reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave until they’re heated through, or give them a quick warm-up in the oven at 350 F for about 5-10 minutes.

How long will lemon ricotta pancakes last in the fridge?

When wrapped up properly they will last up to three days in the fridge.

Can I freeze ricotta pancakes?

Yes, of course! Freeze them first on a parchment-lined baking tray in a single layer. Then transfer them to a container and store them for up to two months. This makes it easier to remove a pancake or two at a time to heat.
