Print Recipe

Light and fluffy pancakes made with ricotta cheese, fresh blueberries, and zesty lemon for a bright and creamy breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (250 g) ricotta cheese, whole-milk recommended
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, whisk 1 cup ricotta cheese until smooth. Add ¾ cup milk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 lemon. Mix until well combined but not overbeaten.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently folding with a spatula until just combined. A few lumps are okay.
  4. Carefully fold in 1 cup fresh blueberries, trying not to burst them. If using frozen, toss them in flour first.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter or a drizzle of oil, swirling to coat.
  6. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Gently flip with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat if pancakes brown too quickly.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm oven (around 200°F) while finishing the rest.
  9. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or a splash of fresh lemon juice.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better blending. Preheat skillet to medium heat to avoid burning. Toss frozen blueberries in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven.
