Ingredients
- ¾ cup white whole wheat flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 egg yolks and whites separated
- 1 ¼ cups buttermilk low fat
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ½ cup ricotta cheese part skim
- 1 blueberries package (6 ounces or 1 ¼ cups
Instructions
- Whisk both types of flour, baking soda and salt together in a small bowl.
- Whisk the egg yolks, buttermilk, sugar, lemon juice, zest and ricotta cheese together in a large bowl.
- Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat them until soft peaks form. Alternatively, you can use a hand held mixer and a clean bowl to beat the egg whites.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients until just combined (do not over mix). Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until they are incorporated. The batter will be thick.
- Heat a large nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Using a ¼ cup measure, spoon the batter into the pan in batches. Scatter some blueberries on each pancake.
- Cook until the pancakes start to bubble around the edges and get lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes over and cook until golden brown on the other side, 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Alternatively, you may place the pancakes on a baking sheet in the oven at 200 degrees to keep them warm until all of them are cooked. Serve pancakes alone or with maple syrup, if desired. Garnish with remaining blueberries and lemon zest.
