Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 2 cups frozen blueberries

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

  • cup milk

  • 2 large eggs

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Directions

  1. Mix together 2 tablespoons lemon juice and cornstarch in a small bowl until cornstarch dissolves.

  2. Stir together blueberries and 3 tablespoons sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour cornstarch mixture into blueberry mixture; cook and stir until mixture thickens slightly. Cover the saucepan, remove from heat, and set aside.

  3. Whisk together ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, sugar, juice from 1 lemon, lemon zest, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl until well blended. Add flour and baking powder; whisk until batter is combined.

  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter in 1/4 cup portions onto the hot griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter. Top pancakes with blueberry sauce.

Cook's Note:

Keep pancakes warm in a 150 degrees F (65 degrees C) oven until ready to serve.
