Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce

These super fluffy pancakes are delicious!  I just love the combination of lemon and blueberry flavors and these were so yummy.  I was looking for a different kind of pancake recipe to try and I found this one at allrecipes.com.

I have tried many different pancake recipes but this was the first time making them with ricotta and I really liked them.  It added a kind of rich creamy texture but yet they were still nice and fluffy.  The blueberry sauce was delicious and if you happen to have any leftover, it makes a great topping on ice cream.
