Based on the comments of other reviewers and a look at dozens of other recipes, I used this one as my starting point. To it I added 1/2 tsp vanilla, the finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon, and 2 T sugar. I also added a pinch of salt and cream of tartar when whipping the egg whites, finishing them off with 1 tsp of sugar to further stabilize that extra volume. Finally, I whipped the ricotta in a blender with the milk and egg yolks, adding half the milk to get things started and then gradually beating in the rest. This not only smooths out the coarse texture of the ricotta but also adds more air. I served this with a sprinkling of fresh blueberries and crushed, sweetened stawberries. These were indeed light, tender, and delicious. Better than any pancake I ever made. Thanks patticakes!

Recipe was okay- felt the batter made way too much for two people!! Made exactly as described, topped it with warmed raspberry jam made by my mother-in-law (nectar of the gods in itself!) and topped with powdered sugar...definitely light, a bit creamier than I'd expect- I'd probably add a T. of sugar to the batter; I'd bet this would taste really good as a base of a savory dish!
