RECIPES FOR THE GRIDDLE: Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes Makes 18 pancakes, about 4 inches each 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups fresh or frozen thawed blueberries 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs, separated 2 cups reduced fat milk 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled Preheat the Griddle side to Medium. Toss blueberries in 1 tablespoon of the flour; reserve. Place the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine. In a smaller bowl, combine the egg yolks, milk, ricotta cheese and unsalted butter; reserve. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry. With a spoon, stir the liquid mixture into the dry mixture until blended. Stir about one fourth of the beaten egg whites into the batter to lighten, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites, using a rubber spatula. Gently stir in the reserved blueberries. Using a 1/4-cup measure/ladle, pour batter for six pancakes onto the preheated Griddle. Cook for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancakes over, using a heatproof nonstick spatula. Cook on the other side until golden brown and fluffy, about 2-1/2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to warm plates to serve. As you finish each batch of pancakes, you can keep them warm on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet in a low oven (200°F). Repeat until all the batter is used. Serve with warmed maple syrup.

Stir in the melted, cooled butter. Do not overmix. Using a quarter cup measure, drop batter evenly spaced (six pancakes fit very nicely) onto the preheated griddle. Cook pancakes until bubbles form, about 2 to 2-1/2 minutes; flip and cook until done, about 2 to 2-1/2 minutes longer. Transfer to warm plates to serve.
