Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup ricotta cheese

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk (plus more if needed)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons honey or sugar (adjust to taste)

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

Butter or oil, for cooking

Maple syrup, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to blend the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and honey (or sugar) until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.

      Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly add the dry mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients, stirring gently. Stop mixing as soon as they are just combined; it’s okay to have a few lumps in the batter. If the mixture appears too thick, stir in a little more milk until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.

        Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to smash them. Make sure they are well-distributed throughout the batter for even flavor.

          Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with butter or oil to prevent sticking.

            Cook the Hotcakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each hotcake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the hotcakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.

              Serve: Stack the hotcakes onto serving plates. Top with extra blueberries and drizzle with maple syrup if desired for an added touch of sweetness. Enjoy them warm for the best texture!
