Instructions
In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta with the lemon zest, and season to taste with salt and pepper. If the ricotta seems too dry, stir in a little water and/or olive oil.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour and seltzer water to make a smooth batter. Grate zucchini on a box grater or using a food processor, and stir into the batter with the Parmesan, salt, and dill.
In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Scoop the zucchini batter with a shallow, wide spoon into the skillet and flatten them carefully into thin pancakes in the skillet without crowding (no more than four at a time). Cook, flipping once, until golden, about 4 minutes per side.
Serve with the fresh ricotta.
