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 (adjust as needed for consistency)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons honey or sugar (to taste)

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for serving)

Butter or oil, for cooking

Maple syrup, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and honey (or sugar). Use a whisk to mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a whisk or fork to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly combined.

      Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, gently stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined; be careful not to overmix as a few lumps are perfectly acceptable. If the batter appears too thick, add an extra splash of milk to achieve a pourable consistency.

        Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful to distribute them evenly without breaking them apart.

          Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add a small amount of butter or oil, ensuring it coats the cooking surface to prevent sticking.

            Cook the Hotcakes: For each hotcake, pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set. Carefully flip the hotcake and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the hotcake is cooked through.

              Serve: Stack the fluffy hotcakes on a serving plate. Garnish with additional fresh blueberries and, if desired, drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness. Serve immediately while warm!
