Lemon Blueberry & Ricotta Pancakes

These light and fluffy pancakes with juicy blueberries and a hint of lemon are scrumptious and make this the perfect breakfast or brunch recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups self rising flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions:

  • Place the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and give them a quick stir.
  • Add the egg yolks, buttermilk, ricotta, vanilla, lemon zest and mix just until combined (don’t worry about the lumps).
  • In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric beater until stiff peaks form.
  • Add the blueberries and egg whites to the batter and fold the mixture together.
  • Cook on a medium/high griddle or pan that has been lightly coated with butter.
  • Ladle approximately ⅓ cup of the batter onto the hot griddle or pan for each pancake.
  • Allow to cook long enough for bubbles to appear on the tops of the pancakes before flipping them. Cook until golden brown.
  • Serve with warm maple syrup and a handful of fresh berries.
