Spicy Ricotta Waffles Recipes

RICOTTA WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat your waffle iron. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, powder, baking soda, and salt to combine. In a large bowl, beat the ricotta for 1 full minute with a mixer. It won't be completely smooth. Add the eggs and beat for another full minute. When it is smooth and shiny looking, add the milk. Place the dry ingredients into the bowl with the cheese mixture and gently whisk to combine. Stir in the butter. Prepare according to your waffle iron manufacturer's directions.

GLUTEN-FREE RICOTTA AND LEMON WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Coat heated waffle iron with cooking spray or butter.
• Whisk milk, ricotta cheese, and egg together in a large bowl until smooth; stir in pancake mix, coconut oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix batter until well combined.
• Combine blueberries, sugar, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir and reduce the heat to low, allowing blueberry sauce to simmer.
• Pour 1/4 cup batter on the center of the waffle iron and close. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Pour blueberry sauce over the waffle. Repeat with remaining batter and sauce.

YEASTED BUTTERMILK WAFFLES WITH HONEY-LEMON RICOTTA

Steps:

• Stir together all ingredients for the lemon-honey ricotta in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. Note: if your honey is hard or crystallized, heat it for about 8 to 10 second in the microwave, until liquid, then allow it to cool before adding it to the ricotta.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Stir together and allow mixture to sit 5 to 10 minutes. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and maple syrup and stir to combine (wet mixture).
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour and sea salt. Pour the flour mixture into the bowl with the wet mixture and mix until all clumps are out. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to sit at room temperature for least 3 hours or overnight.
• Add the beaten eggs and baking soda to the waffle batter and mix until combined.
• Heat your waffle iron and spray with cooking oil. Measure out about 1/2 cup of batter and pour onto the hot waffle iron. Replace the lid and allow waffle to cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat for remaining batter.
• Serve waffles with honey-lemon ricotta, a drizzle of honey, and fresh blueberries

PECAN-RICOTTA WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
• Combine buttermilk, ricotta cheese, and eggs in a large bowl; blend with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in melted butter and maple extract. Add flour mixture to buttermilk mixture and stir until just combined but still lumpy; don't overmix or the waffles will be tough and chewy.
• Lightly spray the waffle iron grids with cooking spray, if needed, following the manufacturer's instructions for cooking. Add about 1 cup of batter depending on the size of your waffle iron, spreading evenly, and sprinkle batter with about 2 to 3 tablespoons pecans.
• Cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, making sure the waffle is fully cooked before lifting the lid (the steam slows down once the waffles are done). Remove waffle, place on a baking sheet without stacking, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and place in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.

SPICY RICOTTA WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat your waffle iron. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees so you can hold the finished waffles until serving time. Melt the butter and reserve. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper to combine. In a large bowl, beat the ricotta for 1 minute with a mixer until the mixer leaves tracks. Don't worry if it's not completely smooth. Add the eggs and beat for another minute. When the combination is smooth and shiny, add the milk. Turn the dry ingredients into the bowl with the ricotta mixture and whisk gently to combine. Stir in the melted butter. Lightly butter or spray the grids of your waffle iron, if needed. Brush or spray the grids again only if subsequent waffles stick. Spoon out 1 cup of batter for a Belgian waffle maker (or the amount recommended by your waffle maker's instructions) onto hot iron. Spread the batter evenly over the grids with a metal spatula or wooden spoon, stopping right before the edge. Close the lid and bake until pale golden and lightly crisped. Put finished waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep in the preheated oven while you make the rest of the batch.
