Light, fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes topped with fresh blueberries, perfect for a quick and delicious weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (250g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh blueberries for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the milk, ricotta, melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Fold in the ricotta gently.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined; batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
  4. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  5. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with melted butter.
  6. Pour about ¼ cup (60ml) of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Immediately scatter fresh blueberries on top.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
  9. Serve stacked with extra blueberries, powdered sugar, or maple syrup.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Do not overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to activate the baking powder and hydrate the flour. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Fresh lemon zest is essential for bright flavor. Blueberries can be folded into the batter or sprinkled on top immediately after pouring batter on the skillet.
