Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of self-raising flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, crack in the 2 eggs and whisk them until they are well beaten.
- Add in the 1 cup of buttermilk and the 1/4 cup of milk to the eggs. Mix well to combine.
- Stir in the 1 cup of ricotta cheese, making sure it blends smoothly with the other wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the hotcakes less fluffy.
- Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil.
- For each hotcake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the hotcake and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the hotcakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the blueberry ricotta hotcakes warm, topped with your favorite syrup, extra blueberries, butter, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips:
- Ensure the buttermilk and ricotta cheese are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid breaking them and to keep the batter light.
- Use a non-stick griddle or skillet to cook the hotcakes evenly without sticking.
- Cook the hotcakes on medium-low heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
- Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
- For an extra touch, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the batter for a hint of citrus flavor.
