Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 cup Ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This helps to evenly distribute the baking powder for light and airy waffles.

Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can result in tough waffles.

Cooking the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Grease the waffle iron lightly with cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp, following the waffle iron's instructions.

Serving

Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Some delicious options include fresh berries, powdered sugar, maple syrup, whipped cream, or a lemon glaze. Enjoy the bright and refreshing flavor of these Lemon Ricotta Waffles!
