Fluffy Ricotta Pancakes

I haven't tried these pancakes yet, but they sound delicious! The recipe was found here

Ingredients:
1 cup ricotta cheese
3/4 cup flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1½ tablespoons sugar
pinch salt
3/4 cup milk
3 eggs, divided
½ teaspoon vanilla

Method:
1. Set ricotta in a fine mesh strainer about 30 minutes before you start cooking, to drain off excess liquid.
2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Combine ricotta, milk, egg yolks, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
3. Beat the egg whites in an electric mixer until stiff. Add the dry ingredients to the ricotta and milk mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Whisk in a small amount of the egg whites to lighten the batter, then fold in the remaining whites.
4. Heat a griddle over medium-high heat, and brush the surface with butter. Use a ladle or measuring scoop (we used a 1/3 cup measure) to pour batter onto the griddle. Cook pancakes for about 3 or 4 minutes, then flip, cooking until both sides are golden brown.
5. Spread lemon curd between pancakes and dust with powdered sugar. Or serve with syrup or fruit.
