View ProfileWhen it comes to breakfast, brunch, or BFD (breakfast for dinner), there's nothing better than fluffy flapjacks. And these aren't your typical box mix silver dollar pancakes — Chef Delucie makes his restaurant-style stack with ricotta, which transforms the pancakes from airy and plain to rich and creamy. Tart, juicy blueberries balance out the rich batter, and a drizzle of thyme-infused maple syrup adds a layer of complexity to the dish. After one bite, you just might find yourself cancelling brunch plans to stay in with a stack of these pancakes — don't say we didn't warn you!
