Lemon Ricotta pancakes may seem like a fancy recipe, but they are super simple to make. Ricotta adds a light and fluffy texture to the pancakes. The lemon juice and lemon zest give a lovely, but subtle lemon flavor. We recommend serving these with either traditional maple syrup, buttermilk syrup, or blueberry syrup.

Can I add blueberries to lemon ricotta pancakes?

Yes, you can easily add blueberries to this recipe! Fresh blueberries can be folded into the pancake batter, or you can add them in after you scoop the batter onto a griddle to form designs or patterns. You can also use frozen blueberries, but be sure to defrost them completely and remove any excess moisture. Use up to 1 cup of either fresh or frozen blueberries in this recipe.

How do I know when to flip my pancakes?

Lemon ricotta pancakes should be cooked on a flat surface over medium high heat. To decide when to flip, look for bubbles in the batter. The edges will start lose their shine and then you’ll know it is time to flip. Your pancake should be golden brown on each side.
