Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (or milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
  • ½ cup (120g) ricotta cheese, whole milk recommended
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for honey butter drizzle)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (for honey butter drizzle)
  • Pinch of salt (for honey butter drizzle)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup ricotta cheese, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries, being careful not to break them up too much.
  5. Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they sizzle and evaporate, skillet is ready.
  6. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Adjust heat as needed.
  7. While pancakes cook, melt 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons honey and a pinch of salt until smooth. Keep warm.
  8. Stack pancakes on a plate, drizzle generously with honey butter, and add extra fresh strawberries if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and airy. Use room temperature eggs and ricotta for best results. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking. Control heat to medium to avoid burning. Gently fold strawberries to keep pieces intact. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if making a large batch.
