INGREDIENTS
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
• cannabutter — 1.5 tablespoons (melted and cooled) [12% DV · Healthy Fats]
• whole milk ricotta — 1 cup (high quality, drained) [15% DV · Protein]
• fresh lemon zest — 2 tablespoons (Meyer lemons preferred) [5% DV · Vitamin C]
• all-purpose flour — 1.5 cups (sifted) [10% DV · Carbohydrates]
• eggs — 2 large (separated) [12% DV · Choline]
• wildflower honey — 2 tablespoons (for topping) [8% DV · Antioxidants]
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Whisk ricotta, egg yolks, and lemon zest in a large bowl until smooth.
💡 Flow tip: Whisking vigorously adds air for a fluffier texture.
2. Slowly fold in the melted infused cannabutter and dry ingredients.
💡 Flow tip: Do not overmix; lumps in the batter are acceptable for tenderness.
3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites to stiff peaks, then gently fold into the batter.
💡 Flow tip: This technique creates the signature cloud-like pancake structure.
4. Heat a non-stick griddle over medium-low heat and coat with standard butter.
💡 Flow tip: Use medium-low heat to protect the THC from high-heat degradation.
5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and serve with honey.
💡 Flow tip: Serve immediately on warm plates for the best experience.
