Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk briefly to combine.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add eggs, milk, ricotta and vanilla. Whisk for 30 seconds to break up the egg yolks and combine the wet ingredients.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Batter should be thick and smooth.
- Place a medium-sized frying pan on low-medium heat. Add a teaspoon of butter and smear it around to cover the base of the frying pan. Add approximately 3 tablespoons of pancake batter to the middle of the pan.
- Fry pancake until golden. Flip and cook on the other side until lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter, smearing the pan with butter after every pancake. Serve warm with fresh blueberries and maple syrup.

LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES
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.

Steps:
- Whisk water and baking soda together in a mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, lemon zest, vegetables oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, breaking up lumps of cheese as you mix. Add melted butter, lemon juice, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons self-rising flour. Whisk together, stirring until most of flour disappears into the batter.
- Let batter sit at room temperature about 15 minutes.
- Heat lightly greased cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Portion out 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto skillet (cook in batches). When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges of the pancakes start to look dry (2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate.

Steps:
- Stir 1/3 cup of water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stir in the honey. Set aside and keep the honey syrup warm.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir the remaining 1 2/3 cups of water and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the pancake mix and stir just until moistened but still lumpy. Stir in the ricotta into the pancake mixture, then stir gently to incorporate the ricotta but maintain a lumpy batter. Fold in the blueberries.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat. Brush with the melted butter. Working in batches, spoon 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with the honey syrup.
THE BEST RICOTTA PANCAKES
This is a well loved recipe! I have an old, small crumpled piece of paper with this recipe hand written out from some years ago, not sure where it came from! I have my own scribbles and scratches on it, so I must have changed it somewhere in time, but this is how I have been making it the last 10 years. It is our favorite pancake recipe. So light, a little tangy, and very satisfying. Perfect with some fresh blueberries or strawberries.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES
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.

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.
FLUFFY AND DECADENT BLUEBERRY-RICOTTA PANCAKES
These are our favorite pancakes because they are light and fluffy and have a fresh berry flavor. I learned this recipe while working for Chef Neal Fraser in Los Angeles. The secret is folding in whipped egg whites. The airy whites literally lift the batter and make the pancakes eat like fluffy clouds. This egg white technique can be applied to any pancake recipe.

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best results.
- Make sure the ricotta cheese is well drained before using it in the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough pancakes.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
With their light and fluffy texture and delicious flavor, these ricotta cheese pancakes are a perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch menu. The ricotta cheese adds a subtle tang and richness that makes them stand out from ordinary pancakes. Whether you serve them with butter and syrup or your favorite fruit toppings, these pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast treat, give these ricotta pancakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
