Method

Preparing the Batter

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Both Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cooking the Pancakes

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter to the pan.

  2. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 6

    Repeat

    Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Pancakes

    Stack the pancakes on a plate, top with blueberries, and drizzle with maple syrup. Add a pat of butter on top for extra flavor.
