Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes With Blueberry Sauce Recipes

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix 2 tablespoons lemon juice and cornstarch together in a bowl until cornstarch dissolves.
• Stir blueberries and 3 tablespoons sugar in a 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 saucepan and remove from heat.
• Whisk ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, sugar, juice from 1 lemon, lemon zest, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl until well blended. Add flour and baking powder; whisk to combine.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter in 1/4 cup portions onto the 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.

LEMON BLUEBERRY RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Put the flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Combine the buttermilk, oil, vanilla and eggs in another bowl and whisk. Add the ricotta, granulated sugar and lemon zest and gently stir with the whisk until evenly combined.
• Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the buttermilk mixture. Fold the ingredients together until evenly combined with a few small lumps remaining in the batter. Do not overmix the batter.
• Heat 1/4 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan. Using a ladle, pour the batter onto the pan, forming one pancake that is 3 to 4 inches in diameter; add a second pancake. Drop 4 to 5 blueberries onto each pancake and press lightly using your fingers. Cook until the edges begin to dry and puff up and little air bubbles begin to appear over the top surface of the pancakes, about 2 1/2 minutes. Flip the pancakes over and continue to cook for another minute or so until done. Continue with the remaining batter.
• Serve with extra blueberries and maple syrup. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

FLUFFY AND DECADENT BLUEBERRY-RICOTTA PANCAKES

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.

BLUEBERRY LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat up a cast-iron griddle or pan on medium heat before you begin. Make sure it gets nice and hot before you start cooking the pancakes.
• Beat together the egg, milk, ricotta cheese, melted butter, lemon zest , and vanilla in a large measuring cup.
• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
• Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry mixture. The dough will be a little lumpy. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. It will puff up. If it is too thick, add a little more milk.
• Add a generous amount of butter to the griddle, then lower the heat to a medium-low temperature. Spoon large circles of batter onto the griddle. Cook on the griddle for a few minutes.
• Add blueberries to each pancake and flip, cooking a few more minutes on the other side. (A good rule of thumb is to wait until the bubbles stop popping and reforming on the raw side of the dough before flipping.) Keep the pancakes warm in a 200 F oven while cooking the remaining cakes.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon milk in a small bowl. If it is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. If it is too thick, add a little more milk. Heat slightly if desired.
• Drizzle the syrup over the pancakes and serve warm.
• Enjoy.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Heat a griddle or large nonstick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-low.
• Add the sugar to a large bowl, then finely grate the zest of the lemon directly over the sugar. Using your fingers, gently rub the zest into the sugar. Add the vanilla and whisk to evenly moisten. Add the eggs and whisk until foamy on top, then add the ricotta, buttermilk and butter, and whisk until well blended. Add the flour mixture and gently stir until no traces of flour remain.
• Generously butter the griddle, then drop a scant 1/4 cup batter onto it. Repeat, spacing the rounds at least an inch apart. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with more butter and the remaining batter. Serve warm, slathered with butter and blueberry syrup or other toppings if you'd like.

RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook blueberries, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon sugar, the lemon zest, and cinnamon, stirring frequently, until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Blend egg yolks and ricotta in a food processor until smooth. Add milk, flour, remaining 2 teaspoons sugar, baking powder, and salt, and process until completely blended. Pour into a mixing bowl.
• Beat egg whites in another bowl until stiff peaks form; fold gently into batter.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour batter into skillet by the quarter cup. Cook until tops are bubbly and dry-looking, about 4 minutes; turn and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes more. Serve with blueberry sauce. Garnish with berries, if desired.
