Print Recipe

Light, airy pancakes with a bright pop of lemon and juicy blueberries, enriched with creamy ricotta for a tender, moist texture. Perfect for cozy breakfasts or casual brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (245 g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk (whole or 2%, dairy-free milk can be substituted)
  • Zest from 1 medium lemon
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries (can use frozen, do not thaw)
  • Unsalted butter for pan and optional topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs with ricotta cheese, milk, and lemon zest until blended; ricotta may be slightly lumpy.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Carefully fold in the blueberries to avoid bursting them.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small pat of unsalted butter, swirling to coat the surface.
  6. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to keep them from getting soggy. Keep warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven if needed.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay. Use room temperature eggs and ricotta for best texture. Fold blueberries gently to keep them whole. Keep cooked pancakes warm on a cooling rack or in a low oven to prevent sogginess. If batter is too thick, add milk a tablespoon at a time. First pancake is a tester to adjust heat and batter consistency.
