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 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese

- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Directions:
- Place the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and give them a quick stir.

- Cook on a medium/high griddle or pan that has been lightly coated with butter.

- Serve with warm maple syrup and a handful of fresh berries.
