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.

• Whisk together milk and egg in a small bowl. Add milk and egg mixture to flour mixture, whisking until blended. Stir in melted butter and lemon zest.
• Lightly oil a griddle and heat over medium-high heat. Fill a 1/4-cup measure with batter and pour onto the hot griddles. Drop a few blueberries on top and cover them with a little batter. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

FLUFFY LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

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.

• Mix almond milk, yogurt, egg, lemon zest and juice, and almond extract together in a separate bowl; stir in butter. Add to the flour mixture; stir just until smooth and gently fold in blueberries.
• Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle.
• Cook until the pancakes start to lightly bubble and edges begin to dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until lightly browned and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.

LEMON YOGURT PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY TOPPING

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, yogurt, eggs, lemon zest and vanilla in a separate bowl. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to thin it out. Allow the batter to rest at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Coat with the griddle or skillet with butter or nonstick spray. Ladle the pancake batter on the griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to form and the bottom of the pancake is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven until ready to serve. Top with Blueberry Topping and serve warm.
• Combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat. Use a fork to gently mash some of the blueberries and release their juices. Cook until the sugar completely dissolves, 5 to 7 minutes.

BLUEBERRY TOPPING

Steps:

• Place blueberries in a large stockpot and crush with a potato masher. Add water and lemon peel; simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Strain fruit through cheese cloth, metal strainer or food mill to remove pulp and seeds; reserve juice.
• In a large saucepan, mix sugar and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until temperature reaches 260 degrees F (125 degrees C). Add blueberry juice and boil for 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and remove from heat. Let cool and freeze or can as desired.
