Farmers Cheese Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce Сырники

I make a lot of tvorog ( homemade ricotta, farmers cheese). So my favorite breakfast is syrniki thats farmer cheese pancakes. Syrniki (named for the Russian word, "syr," for cheese), which are fortified with tvorog, a fresh curd cheese similar in flavor and consistency to farmers cheese. Syrniki are healthy and a wonderful food as for small children as for adults. 
      Ingredients:
2 cups ricotta or farmers cheese (homemade tvorog )
2 eggs
3 to 4 tbs sugar
4 tbs flour (I use Canadian flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Salt to taste
Oil to saute (I used avocado oil)

   Blueberry Sauce:
2 cups fresh blueberries
3 tbs honey
1 tbs orange zest
2 tbs orange juice 

Put all ingredients together.
Mix well. Set aside for 15-20 min. Its much fluffier if you let it sit for a while.
Heat up oiled skillet first. Add a full table spoons of batter into a skillet.   Cook on med low heat, cover the skillet.
Pancakes will get puffy. Turn each pancake on the other side very gently.
Cook until golden brown and cooked inside. You can enjoy it with sour cream and sugar or with blueberry sauce.
