Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes
Blueberries have always been great in pancakes, and are amazing in these delicious pancakes made with ricotta cheese. The whites are whipped separately and then folded into the pancake mixture. That makes the pancakes fluffy, soft and simply irresistible.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp (30g) sugar
- 1 cup (240g) ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup (120g) buttermilk
- 1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 1/2 tsp (6g) baking powder
- Zest from a lemon

Instructions
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, ricotta cheese, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Add the flour, baking powder, lemon zest and salt and whisk until no lumps remain.
- Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped whites into the pancake mixture.
