Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Compote
Vibrant lemon and creamy ricotta cheese are a classic spring combination, and these ingredients shine in this pancake recipe from Chef Suzanne Goin. A luscious blueberry compote adds the finishing touch. The compote also tastes amazing with Suzanne’s homemade sausage patties (see related recipe at left).
