Chef's Note
For the fluffiest pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter and let it rest before cooking. The ricotta adds a wonderful richness and moisture while keeping the texture light. If blueberries aren't in season, frozen ones work well too—just don't thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent bleeding.

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup ricotta cheese
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lemon lemon wedges
Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
- 2
In a separate large bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until light and foamy, about 1 minute.
- 3
Add 1 cup ricotta cheese to the eggs and whisk until smooth. Stir in 3/4 cup milk, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- 4
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are fine.
- 5
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and the baking powder to activate.
- 6
Gently fold 3/4 cup of the fresh blueberries into the batter, reserving 1/4 cup for garnish.
- 7
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- 8
Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- 9
Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the second side, about 2 minutes more.
- 10
Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm oven (200°F) to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
- 11
For the honey drizzle, warm 1/4 cup honey in a small saucepan or microwave for 20 seconds until it's more fluid.
- 12
Serve pancakes stacked, topped with remaining fresh blueberries, a drizzle of warm honey, and lemon wedges on the side.
