Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Blueberry Sauce:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla together until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, and then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
While your pancakes are cooking, it’s time to whip up that blueberry sauce!
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the blueberries start to burst, about 5-7 minutes.
- If you’d like a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry and stir it into the blueberry mixture. Cook for an additional minute until thickened.
- Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with the freshly made blueberry sauce. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
