Steps:
- For the blueberry sauce: Place the blueberries in a small saucepan. Add 1/2 cup water, then stir in the honey. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a low boil and the blueberries just start to break apart. Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl, then add the slurry to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Turn the heat down and simmer on low heat until the sauce is nicely thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Set aside until ready to serve. (See Cook's Note.)
- For the pancakes: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the ricotta, milk, vanilla, eggs and lemon zest and juice in a separate medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F.
- Heat about a tablespoon each vegetable oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet (I prefer cast-iron) over medium heat. When the butter is foamy, reduce the heat to medium-low and ladle a heaping 1/4 cup pancake batter into the skillet. Repeat to make 2 more pancakes. Cook until bubbles start to form in the batter and the pancakes are golden underneath, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other sides until golden, another 3 minutes. Place the finished pancakes on a sheet tray and hold the oven while you finish cooking the remaining batter, adding more oil and butter as necessary. Serve warm with the blueberry sauce.
FLUFFY AND DECADENT BLUEBERRY-RICOTTA PANCAKES
These are our favorite pancakes because they are light and fluffy and have a fresh berry flavor. I learned this recipe while working for Chef Neal Fraser in Los Angeles. The secret is folding in whipped egg whites. The airy whites literally lift the batter and make the pancakes eat like fluffy clouds. This egg white technique can be applied to any pancake recipe.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the milk, sugar and vanilla until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk until just combined--do not overmix; small flour lumps are okay. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese until just barely combined. Again, some ricotta clumps are okay.
- In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar (if using) at medium speed until frothy. Then switch to high speed and beat until soft peaks form, 4 to 6 minutes. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat and give it a 3-second spray with nonstick spray to coat. Dip a 2-ounce (56-g) ladle into the batter and ladle onto the griddle. Be sure to leave enough space between the pancakes to get your spatula in there to flip. Cook over medium heat until the bottoms are golden brown and the pancakes are just beginning to set, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle each pancake with a few blueberries, pressing them in gently. Flip over and continue to cook until golden on the second side. Remove from the heat and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup and butter.

Tips:
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make sure your pancakes are fluffy, be sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which can make the pancakes tough.
- If you want your pancakes to be extra light and fluffy, you can separate the egg whites and yolks and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter.
- To prevent your pancakes from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or griddle. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Cook your pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will cook too quickly and the inside will be raw. If the heat is too low, the pancakes will take too long to cook and they will be dry.
- Flip your pancakes only once. If you flip them too often, they will become tough.
- Serve your pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
