Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk, well shaken
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (about 150g) wild huckleberries, fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup (120g) ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1–2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon sea salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 ¼ cups buttermilk, 1 large room temperature egg, and 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Carefully fold 1 cup fresh or frozen wild huckleberries into the batter.
  5. Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  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 and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. While pancakes cook, mix ½ cup ricotta, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1-2 tablespoons powdered sugar in a small bowl. Thin with 2-3 tablespoons milk or cream to desired consistency.
  8. Stack pancakes and spoon lemon ricotta drizzle generously over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Fold in frozen berries quickly to avoid color bleeding. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if needed. Reheat leftovers in toaster or oven to maintain texture.
