FLUFFY LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE



Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce image

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 10 to 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup honey
1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
Squeeze fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup ricotta
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Butter and vegetable oil, for cooking

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.

Here's what you need: pancake, ricotta cheese, egg yolk, milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, flour, baking powder, blueberry compote, blueberry, sugar, water, lemon juice, egg whites, sugar

Provided by Hector Gomez

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pancake
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg yolk
¾ cup milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 cup flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ cups blueberry compote
2 cups blueberry
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, egg yolk, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth, then add flour and baking powder. Mix this until fully combined.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed with an electric mixer until very white and foamy, then gradually add sugar. Continue beating on high speed until hard peaks form.
  • Gently fold ¼ of the egg whites into the lemon ricotta mixture. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the eggs!
  • Butter up a nonstick pan and pour in about ¼ cup (25g) worth of batter for each pancake.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown on the edges.
  • In a pot or pan, cook blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the compote reaches a thick consistency. (Compote will thicken once it cools, so to loosen it up just add a touch of hot water.)
  • Serve hot compote over stack of pancakes and dust with powdered sugar.
  • Enjoy!

LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES



Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes image

If these pancakes were any lighter, they would float off the plate--and I didn't even separate the eggs and whip the whites. Also, I used water instead of milk--and I liked them better that way. I like to serve these with a pat of butter, a pinch of lemon zest, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES



Lemon Ricotta Pancakes image

This quick batter cooks into the most tender pancakes for the most comforting breakfast. Milky ricotta and butter, along with tangy buttermilk, lend a soft, sweet creaminess, and well-beaten eggs keep them fluffy and light. Lemon- and vanilla-scented sugar makes the pancakes sweet enough to eat on their own, but they're fun to serve with blueberry syrup or your favorite toppings. If you prefer soufflé-like pancakes, separate the whites from the yolks and beat them to stiff peaks. Mix the yolks in with the wet ingredients, fold the whipped whites in after the dry ingredients are incorporated and cook as directed below.

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 small pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup/102 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3/4 cup/170 grams whole-milk ricotta
1/4 cup/61 grams buttermilk, preferably whole milk
2 tablespoons/28 grams unsalted butter, melted, plus room-temperature butter for cooking and serving
Blueberry Syrup or other toppings, for serving (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ricotta cheese. Fresh ricotta cheese is creamier and has a milder flavor than aged ricotta cheese. This will result in pancakes that are light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a well-seasoned griddle or frying pan. A well-seasoned griddle or frying pan will help prevent the pancakes from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping the pancakes too often will make them dry and tough. Flip them only once, when the edges are golden brown and bubbles form on the surface.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Lemon ricotta pancakes are delicious served with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Lemon ricotta pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They're light and fluffy, with a slightly tangy flavor from the lemon and ricotta cheese. These pancakes are perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. Serve them with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
