Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp, melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 1/2 cups, sliced fresh strawberries
- 4 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds

Instructions
- Step 1: In a blender, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 cups whole milk, 2 large eggs, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/8 tsp salt. Blend until smooth and let batter rest for 20 minutes.
