These fluffy pancakes combine creamy ricotta, fresh blackberries, and bright lemon zest for a cozy and delicious breakfast that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (125g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blackberries, gently rinsed
  • Unsalted butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add ricotta, milk, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth but do not overmix.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. A few lumps are okay.
  4. Carefully fold in the blackberries, trying not to break them up.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of unsalted butter and let it melt, coating the surface.
  6. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F / 95°C) while finishing the batch.
  9. Serve stacked with butter, maple syrup or honey, and extra blackberries if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Use room temperature eggs and dairy for best fluffiness. Fresh lemon zest is crucial for bright flavor. Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Cook on medium heat and flip only once. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch. If batter is too thick, add milk a tablespoon at a time.
