Lemon Ricotta Waffles with Honey Glaze

Servings:

4-6 waffles

Ingredients:

For the waffles:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the honey glaze:

  • 1/4 cup pure honey
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, lemon juice, ricotta cheese, and melted butter.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. The batter should still be slightly lumpy.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the center of the waffle iron.
  7. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter.

For the honey glaze:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, heavy cream, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
  2. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth and warm.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Assembly

  1. Serve the waffles hot with a drizzle of the honey glaze on top.
  2. Garnish with fresh lemon zest, if desired.
