Make-Ahead:

The blueberry compote and pancakes are best prepared and eaten as soon as they’re made.

To make the berry compote:

Place the blueberries, sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and the zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook for 2 minutes, or until the sugar melts and berries soften just slightly. 

Don’t let the berries cook too long or they will become mushy and lose their beautiful shape. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in the chopped mint.

To make the pancakes:

In a large bowl, whisk the ricotta and egg yolks together to combine, and then whisk in the buttermilk. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the ricotta mixture. Stir with a whisk just until combined.

In another large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form. Using a large silicone spatula, gently fold the egg whites through the batter in 2 batches. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.

On a hot griddle pan, melt some butter over medium-low heat. Working in batches, ladle the batter onto the griddle. Cook the pancakes about 3 minutes per side, or until the pancakes puff, become golden brown and are just cooked through.

To serve:

Transfer the pancakes to plates. Spoon the warm blueberry compote over the pancakes. Top with a dollop of crème fraîche and enjoy.
