Lemon Ricotta Waffles with Honey and Pistachios

A creative twist on traditional waffles, these lemon ricotta waffles are topped with a drizzle of honey and crunchy pistachios for added flavor and texture.

Lemon Ricotta Waffles with Honey and Pistachios

Ingredients

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

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Waffle Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat sugar until lightened in color. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in milk, ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and honey.

Step 2: Combine the Dry and Wet Ingredients

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 3: Cook the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron and spread it out evenly. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 4: Top with Honey and Pistachios

Drizzle honey over the top of each waffle and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm waffles topped with honey and pistachios for a delicious breakfast or brunch. You can also store leftover waffles in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat as needed.

Note: This recipe is inspired by the original lemon ricotta pancakes (#65), but modified to be a waffle variant.
