Instructions
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
- Separate the egg white from the yolks.
- In a large bowl, combine egg yolks, ricotta cheese and melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and lemon zest. Slowly add to ricotta mixture.
- In another bowl, whip the egg whites until they form firm peaks. Fold the egg whites gently into the batter, until just combined.
- Over medium heat, lightly butter a griddle or non-stick pan. Ladle in about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter to form small hot cakes and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Blueberry Sauce
- Place 1 1/2 cups of blueberries in a small saucepan. Add water, sugar and vanilla. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a low boil, sugar is dissolved, and blueberries just start to break apart.
- Add dissolved cornstarch to saucepan and bring mixture to a rolling boil. Turn heat down and simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little bit of water, one tablespoon at a time.
- Remove from heat. Add remaining blueberries and stir gently. Serve warm or cold.
