     +    

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and 2g salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg yolks, 110g sugar, ricotta and lemon zest.

Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just blended; there may be a few lumps but whisk well until nice and smooth.

In another bowl, whisk the egg whites with 1g of salt until you have soft peaks, adding the 20g caster sugar and whip until firm.

Very carefully with a spatula, fold the egg whites into the batter until they are just mixed.

Spray a nonstick medium sized pan with nonstick spray and place one large ladleful of the batter into the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for around 4 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, the edges start to look dry and the bottom are golden brown.

Carefully turn the pancake over and cook until lightly browned on the other side for about 3 minutes.
