Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

My kids love pancakes for breakfast, so when I have blueberries on hand, I make these Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and serve them with my homemade blueberry sauce. Tender and flavorful, they make for the most comforting breakfast. But if you prefer soufflé-like pancakes, this version of lemon-kissed ricotta pancakes just fits the bill.

Depending on the consistency of your ricotta cheese, you may need to add more milk or all-purpose flour to the batter. Use whole-milk ricotta and whole milk for best results. You can use either fresh or frozen (do not thaw and cook from frozen) blueberries for the blueberry sauce. Enjoy the pancakes warm with a pat of butter and a good drizzle of that blueberry sauce.

To make the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

1	Make blueberry sauce	5
In a medium pot, whisk together 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 pinch cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons water. Then add in 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 1 ¼ cups blueberries and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, constantly stirring, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Serve over the pancakes.
2	Combine dry ingredients	1
In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 pinch salt.
3	Whisk eggs and sugar	2
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 ¾ tablespoons granulated sugar.
4	Add ricotta	1
Add in 7 ¼ tablespoons ricotta and mix to combine.
5	Add milk	1
Add in 4 tablespoons milk and mix until just combined.
6	Add dry ingredients	2
Add the dry ingredients a little at a time and mix until just combined.
7	Add butter	1
Add in 2 tablespoons melted and cooled butter and gently mix.
8	Add lemon zest and lemon juice	1
Gently stir in 1 tablespoon zest and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. If the batter is too thick, add in the remaining 1 tablespoon milk. Do not overmix.
9	Cook pancakes	20
Heat a lightly greased pan over medium heat. Drop about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan, spacing at least an inch apart. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until a few bubbles appear on the top and the bottoms are golden brown, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter.
10	Serve
Serve warm with butter and blueberry syrup. Enjoy!
