Soft, pillowy pancakes bursting with blueberries and brightened by lemon zest, enriched with creamy ricotta for a cozy breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (250g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest (from 1 medium lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • Butter or oil for the pan

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, stir ricotta cheese with milk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth but not overmixed.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined; batter may be slightly lumpy.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries, distributing evenly without breaking them.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil to coat the surface.
  6. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto the pan. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to keep warm and prevent sogginess.
  9. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter or oil to the pan as needed.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use fresh lemon zest for best flavor. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven on a wire rack to avoid sogginess. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk. Adjust heat to prevent burning and ensure pancakes cook through.
