Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup lemon juice
- zest of one lemon
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs (for lemon curd)

Instructions
- Start by preparing the lemon curd: In a saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, zest, sugar, and eggs over medium heat until thickened (about 10 minutes). Stir in butter until melted; refrigerate to cool.
- For the pancakes, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in one bowl. In another bowl, mix ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients without overmixing; gently fold in blueberries.

- Serve warm topped with chilled lemon curd.
Notes
- Ensure to not overmix the pancake batter to keep them fluffy.
- You can replace blueberries with other berries if desired.
