Ingredients

  1. Olive oil, for the pan
  2. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  3. 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  4. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  5. 1 tablespoon sugar
  6. 3 large eggs
  7. 1 cup reduced-fat milk
  8. 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  9. 1 cup fresh blueberries
  10. 1/2 cup reduced-fat plain Greek yogurt
  11. 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  12. Grated zest and juice of 2 small lemons
  13. 1 cup fresh blueberries
  14. 1 tablespoon water
  15. 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  16. 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Make the pancakes: Lightly coat a large heavy nonstick skillet with olive oil and preheat over medium heat. Whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the milk and ricotta, whisking until smooth. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the egg mixture, stirring until combined and the batter is mostly smooth with some lumps.
  2. Spoon 1/4 cupfuls of batter into the pan, then arrange 4 or 5 blueberries on top of each. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and pop, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  3. Make the yogurt topping: Place the yogurt, ricotta and lemon zest and juice in a small bowl. Mix to combine.
  4. Meanwhile, make the compote: Combine the blueberries, water, lemon juice and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook until the berries soften and the juices thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stack the pancakes on plates. Top with the yogurt mixture and blueberry compote.
