Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup whole-milk ricotta
- 2 large eggs
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp regular butter, melted
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 4 tbsp cannabis-infused butter, melted (~5mg THC per tbsp)
- Fresh berries, to serve
How to make it
- 1
Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, ricotta, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla, and regular melted butter.
- 3
Fold wet into dry just until combined—a few lumps are fine. Rest 5 minutes.
- 4
Cook 1/4-cup portions on a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over medium heat, 2 minutes per side until golden.
- 5
Off the heat, gently warm the maple syrup and whisk in the cannabis butter just until silky—do not boil.
- 6
Stack pancakes, drizzle with infused maple, and top with fresh berries.
Cooking tips
- Whisk the infused butter into already-warm maple to keep THC intact.
- Resting the batter relaxes the gluten—tender, fluffy results.
- Microdosing for brunch? Halve the infused butter and use 2 tbsp regular maple instead.

Why this pairing works
Limonene — in your strain and on your plate
The brightest terpene on our list, limonene is the citrus engine behind sativa-leaning, mood-elevating strains. It pairs naturally with bright, acidic dishes and works beautifully as a daytime, social terpene.
