Ricotta Waffles
Blood orange olive oil adds a delicious twist of flavor to these ricotta waffles.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons blood orange olive oil or plain olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix sugar and orange zest until the zest is coated in sugar. Add the orange sugar to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- In a bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together butter, eggs, vanilla, ricotta, and buttermilk. Whisk until combined well.
- Add the wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Don’t overmix. It’s ok if a few lumps remain.
- Heat waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Drop batter into the waffle iron; cook until golden brown. Serve immediately.
Notes
These waffles can also be individually wrapped and frozen. They’re great heated up in the toaster directly from the freezer.
