Ricotta cheese is increasingly becoming a star ingredient in breakfast recipes, and it’s not hard to see why.

In pancakes, ricotta adds a moistness that traditional recipes often lack, resulting in a fluffy, tender bite that practically melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for serving)

Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

    In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.

      Gradually add the dry ingredients to the ricotta mixture, stirring gently until just combined (do not overmix; a few lumps are okay).

        Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them.

          Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

            Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

              Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

                Serve the pancakes warm topped with extra blueberries, lemon syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
