Best Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes With Blueberry Sauce Recipes

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix 2 tablespoons lemon juice and cornstarch together in a bowl until cornstarch dissolves.
• Stir blueberries and 3 tablespoons sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour cornstarch mixture into blueberry mixture; cook and stir until mixture thickens slightly. Cover saucepan and remove from heat.
• Whisk ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, sugar, juice from 1 lemon, lemon zest, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl until well blended. Add flour and baking powder; whisk to combine.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter in 1/4 cup portions onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter. Top pancakes with blueberry sauce.

Steps:

• Put the flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Combine the buttermilk, oil, vanilla and eggs in another bowl and whisk. Add the ricotta, granulated sugar and lemon zest and gently stir with the whisk until evenly combined.
• Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the buttermilk mixture. Fold the ingredients together until evenly combined with a few small lumps remaining in the batter. Do not overmix the batter.
• Heat 1/4 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan. Using a ladle, pour the batter onto the pan, forming one pancake that is 3 to 4 inches in diameter; add a second pancake. Drop 4 to 5 blueberries onto each pancake and press lightly using your fingers. Cook until the edges begin to dry and puff up and little air bubbles begin to appear over the top surface of the pancakes, about 2 1/2 minutes. Flip the pancakes over and continue to cook for another minute or so until done. Continue with the remaining batter.
• Serve with extra blueberries and maple syrup. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Heat a griddle or large nonstick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-low.
• Add the sugar to a large bowl, then finely grate the zest of the lemon directly over the sugar. Using your fingers, gently rub the zest into the sugar. Add the vanilla and whisk to evenly moisten. Add the eggs and whisk until foamy on top, then add the ricotta, buttermilk and butter, and whisk until well blended. Add the flour mixture and gently stir until no traces of flour remain.
• Generously butter the griddle, then drop a scant 1/4 cup batter onto it. Repeat, spacing the rounds at least an inch apart. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with more butter and the remaining batter. Serve warm, slathered with butter and blueberry syrup or other toppings if you'd like.
