  • 2 tsps finely grated lemon rind
  • vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar
  • 4 lemon wedges
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries and strawberries

Directions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Press ricotta through fine sieve into separate bowl.  Whisk in egg, milk, butter and lemon rind.  Pour over dry ingredients and stir until just moistened.  (batter may be slightly lumpy)
