Whisk egg yolks, ricotta, sugar, butter and zest together in a bowl. Stir
in flour until just combined. In a separate bowl beat egg whites until they
hold stiff peaks. Carefully fold whites into the ricotta mixture. Heat a
heavy griddle or skillet and brush lightly with oil. Drop the batter onto
griddle in 1/4-cup batches and cook until lightly golden (about 2 minutes).
Turn and cook the other side. Keep warm while cooking the rest of the
pancakes. Serve immediately with Sauteed Apples and warm maple syrup. This
recipe yields about 12 four-inch pancakes.
