Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with blueberry compote

My favorite brunch spot stopped serving brunch during the pandemic and has never resumed it. I loved their lemon ricotta pancakes and have not been able to find a place that makes them the same way so I decided to make them myself. They turned out just like the ones at my favorite brunch spot served with blueberry compote and lemon curd. I made the blueberry compote by heating 2 cups of frozen blueberries with 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. When it started to boil over low heat I added a slurry of lemon juice and corn starch and let it thicken. I bought the lemon curd.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (214g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)

3 1/2 Tbsp (46g) granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (236ml) milk
3/4 cup (180g) ricotta (low-fat or whole)
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 - 2 Tbsp lemon zest (depending on how lemony you want them)
1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp (14g) butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat an electric griddle to moderately-high heat (or us a non-stick skillet set over medium heat).
In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt for 20 seconds.
Make a well in center of flour mixture and set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, ricotta, eggs and vanilla until well blended.
Add butter, lemon zest and lemon juice to milk mixture and blend until combined (it will curdle a little, that's fine).
Immediately pour milk mixture into flour mixture and whisk just to combined (batter should be slightly lumpy).
Pour 1/3 cup batter onto buttered griddle or skillet and cook until bubbles begin to appear on surface and bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook opposite side until golden brown.
Serve warm dusted with powdered sugar if desired and drizzled with maple or berry syrup.

@ninjawife You brought up a terrific taste memory with this post. It has been many years since I last made Ricotta Pancakes, but the wonderful taste memory lingers. Thank you for reminding me, they could show up on a dinner menu soon.

BTW, have you ever made ricotta from scratch? These pancakes would be a good application, I think. "Whistle" if you want to see the instructions.
