In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Notes
- For added flavor, stir in lemon or orange zest.
- Swap in white or dark chocolate chips for variation.
- Chill dough to reduce spreading if your butter is very soft.
- Whole milk ricotta yields the best texture, but part-skim works too.
- Store in an airtight container or freeze for longer storage.
