Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes

A light lemony lift to light up your morning:
(serves 6)

1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese (8 oz.)
4 large eggs, separated
3 T. sugar
2 T. grated lemon zest
1/2 cup all-purpose* flour (or you could use 1/4 cup millet flour and 1/4 cup potato starch)
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. sea* salt
Pinch cream of tartar
4 T. butter or coconut oil, divided
Fresh raspberries* or blueberries*

Whisk together ricotta, egg yolks, sugar, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Set aside. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Sprinkle flour mixture over egg mixture, and fold in with spatula. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer 5 mins., or until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites into batter. Heat 1 T. butter in a large skillet over med. heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake into pan. Cook 3 mins., or until bubbles begin to form and pop on top. Flip, and cook 1 min. more. Repeat with remaining butter and batter. I would serve thick cup smoked peppered bacon, or Jone's All Natural (no 'trites or 'traits) Link Sausages, and cottage cheese sprinkled with chives.
