Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes

Summer is bursting with berries and I enjoy using them for various breakfast dishes like in this delicious Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes. Blueberries have always been great in pancakes, and are amazing in these made with ricotta.

What I love about this recipe is the fact that the whites are whipped separately and then folded into the pancake mixture. That makes the pancakes fluffy and soft.

The addition of ricotta and lemon zest takes the pancakes to a next level.  They will soon become a family favorite and you might consider doubling the recipe as they will be gone in seconds.

Hope you will try these Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes as they are worth all the effort. Enjoy!
