original recipe: http://damndelicious.tumblr.com/post/26470207778/holiday-recipe-club-lemon-ricotta-pancakes-with

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

For the blueberry sauce:
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and a nonstick griddle to 350 degrees F.

To make the blueberry sauce, combine the lemon juice and cornstarch in a small bowl; set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Stir in the lemon juice and cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Keep warm; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together the ricotta, oil, egg, egg whites, lemon juice and zest.

Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.

Lightly coat a griddle or nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Scoop 1/3 cup batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles appear on top and the underside is nicely browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the pancakes on the other side, about 1-2 minutes longer; keep warm in oven.

Serve immediately with blueberry sauce.
