Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 0.75 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
• 0 maple syrup (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Fold the cranberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of unsalted butter to grease the surface.

Step 6

Scoop 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart slightly.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, if desired.
