Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar (for compote)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 6–8 minutes until berries burst and mixture thickens slightly. Stir in cornstarch slurry if a thicker consistency is desired. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a bowl, whisk or beat together ricotta, heavy cream, and honey (if using) until light and fluffy. Refrigerate until needed.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup ricotta, milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the batter.
  6. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
  7. Stack pancakes and top with whipped ricotta and blueberry compote. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use whole-milk ricotta for richer flavor and texture.
  • Separate and beat egg whites for extra fluffy pancakes.
  • Blueberry compote can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • Try adding lemon zest to the pancake batter for a citrusy twist.
