These fluffy huckleberry pancakes feature a creamy lemon ricotta batter that is tangy, sweet, and perfect for a special weekend breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240g) ricotta cheese (whole milk recommended)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk (whole or 2%, or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen or fresh huckleberries
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy but thick. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Carefully fold in the huckleberries. If using frozen, add them straight from the freezer.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with about 1 tablespoon melted butter. Test heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; it should sizzle gently.
  6. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm oven (about 200°F / 95°C) to keep warm while finishing the rest.
  9. Serve immediately with extra huckleberries or maple syrup.

Notes

Use smooth ricotta for best texture; avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Add frozen berries directly to prevent watery batter. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven and avoid pressing down on them while cooking.
