Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs (separated into yolks and whites)
  • 1 & 1/3 cups blueberries (rinsed and dried)
  • Butter for cooking
  • Powdered sugar, extra blueberries, and maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the ricotta cheese, milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly mixed.
  3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring carefully to avoid over mixing the batter.
  4. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the pancake batter, then carefully fold in the blueberries. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with butter. Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form around the edges and the bottoms are golden brown.
  6. Using a spatula, carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
  7. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with powdered sugar, extra fresh blueberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sugar based on your sweetness preference.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
