Delightful Twist: Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes Recipe

A Twist on a Classic: Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Today, I’m excited to share a new recipe that’s perfect for a lazy Sunday morning breakfast or brunch with loved ones. These Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic pancake recipe, adding a burst of fresh flavor and a creamy texture that will have everyone asking for seconds.

Ingredients:

• 200g all-purpose flour
• 10g baking powder
• 5g salt
• 30g sugar
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 150g ricotta cheese
• 250ml milk
• 1 egg
• 30g melted butter
• 100g fresh blueberries

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• grater
• frying pan
• spatula

To start, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and lemon zest in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are okay.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake and then drop a few fresh blueberries onto each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and extra blueberries on top. The combination of the zesty lemon, creamy ricotta, and bursts of juicy blueberries makes these pancakes a truly special treat.

One clever tip for these pancakes is to fold the blueberries into the batter instead of placing them on top while cooking. This helps distribute the berries more evenly throughout the pancakes, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavor.

I hope you give these Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to get creative with the recipe and make it your own by adding toppings like chopped nuts, honey, or even a dollop of whipped cream. Happy cooking!
