Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 2 tbsp granulated sugar until combined.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1/2 cup whole milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Add wet ingredients to dry and gently fold until just combined; batter will be thick.
Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter. Spoon 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden.
Step 4: Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
Step 5: Serve pancakes stacked, topped with 1 cup mixed fresh berries and drizzled with 1/4 cup pure maple syrup.
