Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- In a smaller bowl whisk together the vanilla extract, milk, eggs, ricotta cheese, lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and gently whisk until well incorporated. Stir in the blueberries.
- Pour about half a ladle onto a medium hot griddle and cook for 3 minutes, until the edges start to firm up. Flip the pancakes and finish cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve hot with maple syrup and butter.
Notes
- You can use any berries you like for this recipe. Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc, or any combination.
- This recipe will yield about 18 small to medium pancakes. Nutritional information assumes 3 pancakes per serving and does not include maple syrup and butter.
- For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg yolks and whites. Beat the egg whites separately until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter just before cooking. This technique will add more airiness to the pancakes.
- To prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the pancakes, you can toss them in a little flour before adding them to the batter. This helps to distribute the blueberries more evenly throughout the pancakes.
- Use a non-stick griddle or pan to ensure the pancakes cook evenly and don't stick. Preheat the cooking surface over medium heat before adding the batter.>
- Keep the cooked pancakes warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F or 95°C) while you finish cooking the remaining pancakes. This ensures they stay hot and preserves their fluffy texture.
- Customize the toppings to your liking! In addition to maple syrup and butter, you can add a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or additional fresh blueberries for an extra burst of flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. It's okay if it's a little lumpy. Overmixing can lead to tougher pancakes as gluten develops in the batter, resulting in a denser texture.
- Adjust the lemon zest and juice to your taste preferences. If you prefer a more pronounced lemon flavor, you can add more zest or squeeze in extra lemon juice. Remember to taste the batter as you go to achieve the desired balance.
