Zesty Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: A Brunch Must-Try!

Today’s Unique Recipe: Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Compote

Hey there foodies! Today I’m excited to share a recipe that is perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch or a cozy breakfast at home. These Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Compote are a delightful twist on a classic morning favorite. The light and fluffy pancakes paired with the sweet and tangy blueberry compote make for a truly special dish.

Ingredients:

• ricotta cheese (200g)
• lemon (zested and juiced)
• all-purpose flour (150g)
• sugar (50g)
• baking powder (1 tsp)
• salt (1/2 tsp)
• egg
• milk (120ml)
• butter (melted, 30g)
• blueberries (100g)

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• grater
• skillet
• spatula

To start, in a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease with a bit of butter. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

While the pancakes are cooking, make the blueberry compote by combining the blueberries, lemon juice, and a splash of water in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.

Once the pancakes are done, serve them warm topped with the blueberry compote. The combination of the fluffy pancakes, tangy lemon, and sweet blueberries is simply irresistible.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs about 150g. The estimated calorie count per serving is around 250 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some lemon zest on top of the pancakes just before serving. It adds a burst of fresh citrus flavor that elevates the dish to a whole new level.
