These Meyer lemon ricotta pancakes from The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen are a delicious way to start off your morning.  By incorporating the ricotta cheese in the pancake batter, you'll achieve a light and fluffy pancake.  A quick blackberry compote is made by cooking the fruit with some sugar until it becomes thick and syrupy.  You can use fresh or frozen fruit to make the compote and easily substitute the blackberries for your favorite berry.  Meyer lemon ricotta pancakes with blackberry compote are a simply irresistible breakfast.
