Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk 1 cup ricotta cheese, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 2 tbsp granulated sugar until combined.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1/4 cup whole milk and 1 tbsp lemon zest, then fold into the ricotta mixture until just combined.
  3. Step 3: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter.
  4. Step 4: Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat, adding remaining 2 tbsp butter as needed.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh blueberries, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until blueberries burst and sauce thickens.
  6. Step 6: Serve pancakes stacked with warm blueberry sauce spooned on top.
