| Yield: | 4 servings (16 pancakes) |
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups pancake and waffle mix (recommended: Krusteaz)
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 2/3 cup frozen blueberries
- Melted butter
Instructions
- Stir 1/3 cup of water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stir in the honey. Set aside and keep the honey syrup warm.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir the remaining 1 2/3 cups of water and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the pancake mix and stir just until moistened but still lumpy. Stir in the ricotta into the pancake mixture, then stir gently to incorporate the ricotta but maintain a lumpy batter. Fold in the blueberries.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat. Brush with the melted butter. Working in batches, spoon 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with the honey syrup.

I love this recipe!!!
Once in a while I get a wild hair and make breakfast food for dinner. Usually I make a dense French Toast using extra eggs to be filling. But I’m going to make this for my breakfast food for dinner because it’s incredibly yummy and filling!!!
This was a Wow! Pancake for my family. I got lots of compliments and my fellas could only eat 3 pancakes… I made these about 3 & 1/2″ to 4″ in diameter using a 1/2 cup scoop to pour batter into the frying pan. For fun I used a ratio of 1 part butter to 3 parts oil in my frying pan. I have given up on using a nonstick pan since even expensive ones seem to last only 2 years at most and then start to stick. And I only use plastic or silicone utensils to cook in nonstick pans. Oh well…
This was super delicious and I’ll be making it often.
P.S. Instead of using the sugar in the mix, I put the berries in a separate bowl, added sugar and mashed up a few of the berries. I let it sit for a few minutes for the berry juice to soak up the sugar. I mixed this into the batter. The pancakes didn’t turn purple. lol! Some of my berries were tart to I did this to keep the pancakes from having sour spots where there was an extra tart berry. It worked out great. This may be good for people that like their berries sweeter.
Great recipe! I absolutely loved this. I believe I could have this every day and not be bored with it after 365 days! lol!

I used the Krusteaz mix and followed the directions exactly but my mix was runny. I sing know how this can be the correct proportions of water to pancake mix.
Love Giada’s recipe. I don’t know why they didn’t turn out for other people or have been “horrible”. I have been making this recipe since 2008 and they turn out perfect and are delicious.
These turned out good. I didn’t have blueberries on hand, so that was omitted. The honey syrup is yummy.
Very easy, I added a fried egg to the 4 pancakes I cooked… the whole thing takes 10 minutes on the stove top.
Made this recipe today. Turned out well, but I did cut down on the water due to previous comments. Halved the recipe cuz it’s just hubs and me. Also added a little cinnamon sugar to the batter to give it more of a sweet kick and about 2 tablespoons of sliced almonds cuz I love crunch. I will make again
These were the best pancakes I have ever had. I used Aunt Jemina Buttermilk Mix and worked great. Served 4 teenage boys or 8 adults. I like the addition of the ricotta and blueberries which to add some nutritional value to a very otherwise carb heavy meal
AWSOME!!!!!!! I add pecans to the recepi
and I love it
and I love it
Delicious
Holy smokes! So delish!
