Author: Barbara Schieving

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt divided
  • 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 5 eggs separated
  • ½ cup sugar
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 ½ cups of blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat griddle to 325º. (This is a thick batter and needs to cook at a slightly lower temperature, because they brown up quickly.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and cornstarch until well combine; whisk in baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and beat until soft peaks form.
  • In blender jar add the ricotta, milk, egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest and juice and pulse until smooth. Add to flour mixture and mix just until blended.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the pancake batter.
  • Spray the griddle with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle ⅓ cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Add blueberries to each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top and the pancakes are golden underneath, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for 1 minute more. Repeat with the remaining batter.
