These fluffy blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes are light, moist, and bursting with fresh citrus and berry flavors, topped with a luscious honey butter for a perfect morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (250 g) whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with ricotta cheese until smooth. Add milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until fully combined.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Carefully fold in blueberries, adding frozen berries directly if using frozen.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; it should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
  6. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook 3–4 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip and cook 2–3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. While pancakes cook, mix softened butter with honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until creamy.
  8. Serve pancakes warm with a dollop of honey butter and extra honey if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy; a few lumps are fine. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Cook on medium heat and flip pancakes only once when bubbles pop and edges look dry. Fold frozen blueberries directly into batter to avoid color bleeding. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven with parchment paper between layers to prevent sogginess.
