blueberry ricotta pancakes
















1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon sugar 
1 teaspoon baking powder 
1/4 teaspoon baking soda 
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese 
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest 
1 tablespoon lemon juice 
2 teaspoons canola oil, divided 
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (we used marionberries)

Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg in a small bowl. Whisk ricotta, egg, buttermilk, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl until smooth. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. 

Brush a large nonstick skillet with 1/2 teaspoon oil and place over medium heat until hot. Using a generous 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, pour the batter for 2 pancakes into the pan, sprinkle blueberries on each pancake and cook until the edges are dry and bubbles begin to form, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining oil, batter and berries, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
