[willa_On]

Just wanted to pop in and share a recipe I did recently that turned out absolutely amazing! I know we all get stuck in a recipe rut sometimes, so I figured I'd spread the love with this tasty find. These pancakes are light, fluffy, and bursting with bright lemon flavor. The ricotta cheese adds a touch of richness, and the blueberry compote is the perfect sweet and tart topping. They're guaranteed to be a hit with everyone at the table!

Ingredients:

For the Pancakes:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp melted butter

For the Blueberry Compote:

• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions:

For the Pancakes:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, egg, milk, lemon zest, and melted butter until just combined.
3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined (a few lumps are okay).
4. Preheat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat.
5. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through.

For the Blueberry Compote:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. This should take about 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

To Assemble:

1. Stack the pancakes on a plate and spoon the blueberry compote over top.
2. Serve immediately with additional maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries, if desired.

These pancakes are a delightful way to start your day. The fluffy texture, bright lemon flavor, and sweet blueberry compote make them a breakfast (or brunch!) dream. Let me know if you give them a try!
