2 tsp kosher salt

2 cups whole milk

6 oz unsalted butter, melted

4 large eggs, separated

2 tsp vanilla extract

12 oz ricotta cheese, broken up into small pieces

2 pints fresh blueberries

1. Measure dry ingredients and place in a large bowl and whisk to combine.

2. In a separate bowl, combine milk, melted butter, egg yolks, vanilla extract and ricotta cheese. Mix well.

3. With a rubber spatula, fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Combine, but do not over mix (lumps of dry mixture are ok).

4. Place egg whites in a kitchen-aid bowl and whisk on medium speed until foamy. Switch speed to high and whisk until stiff but no dry peaks form. With a rubber spatula, fold whites into batter in thirds.

5. Heat cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add 1 T butter and scoop pancake batter into skillet.

6. Add a handful of blueberries to each pancake on the griddle.

7. Cook 2 1/2 minutes on each side serve. Serve with butter and real maple syrup.
