Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Waffles

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • ¾ cup milk

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, rub together granulated sugar and lemon zest until the sugar is scented with lemon.
  3. Add the lemon sugar to the bowl with the dry ingredients and whisk together.
  4. In a bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together butter, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, ricotta, and milk.
  5. Add the wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Do not over mix the batter.  A few lumps remaining is fine.
  6. Heat you waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions spraying with cooking spray if needed.
  7. Dollop ¼ cup of batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with what whatever topping you would like. I served mine with a dollop of whip, a little granola for some crunch, sliced citrus and some pomegranate arils.
  9. These waffles can also be individually wrapped and frozen. They are great heated up in the toaster or in the oven

Recipe Notes

  • If using a standing waffle iron or one that you have to pour the batter into, you may have to thin out the batter a little a tbsp at a time (with milk or water) until you achieve a more pourable consistency.
