Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon sugar

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for serving)

Butter or oil for cooking

Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In another large bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are perfectly fine.

        Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

          Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, heat a small amount of butter or oil over medium heat. Allow it to coat the surface evenly.

            Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

              Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm as you repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve warm topped with additional blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
