Chillin' With An Al Fresco Brunch: Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

With the recent stretch of warm — make that HOT — weather in Ireland and elsewhere, everyone wants to dine al fresco. I know I’ve been eating three meals a day in the great outdoors, especially brunch on weekends when I’ve been serving these delicious pancakes topped with blueberries. You’ll find recipes like this in my cookbook Flavors of Ireland: signed copies WITH FREE SHIPPING available from www.irishcook.com 

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES
