Time 50m

Yield 10 to 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup honey
1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
Squeeze fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup ricotta
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Butter and vegetable oil, for cooking

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.

1 c low-fat vanilla yogurt
2 eggs
1 tsp lemon zest
1 c fresh blueberries, or frozen. i used wymans wild blueberries frozen.
real maple syrup for drizzling.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries burst with flavor and add a vibrant pop of color to your pancakes. If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no lumps remain.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking allows the gluten to relax, resulting in lighter, fluffier pancakes.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat prevents them from burning and ensures that they cook evenly throughout.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often will make them tough. Flip them only once, when bubbles start to form around the edges and the surface is set.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
