Description

Golden waffles topped with a warm blueberry compote and fluffy lemon ricotta cream. A bright, flavorful brunch favorite that’s both comforting and elegant.


Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour: 1½ cups
  • Baking Powder: 2 teaspoons
  • Sugar: 2 tablespoons
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Milk: 1¼ cups
  • Butter: 4 tablespoons, melted
  • Blueberries: 1½ cups
  • Ricotta Cheese: 1 cup
  • Lemon Zest: 1 tablespoon
  • Powdered Sugar: 2 tablespoons


Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in milk and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly grease your waffle iron with oil or cooking spray.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour batter into the center of the waffle iron, close, and cook until golden brown and crisp.
  5. Cook to Perfection: While waffles are cooking, heat blueberries with a tablespoon of sugar in a small saucepan. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the berries burst and the mixture thickens into a compote.
  6. Finishing Touches: In a bowl, whip ricotta with powdered sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Top warm waffles with a spoonful of blueberry compote and a dollop of lemon ricotta cream. Garnish with extra zest.

Notes

  • Let your batter rest before cooking for fluffier waffles.
  • Use fresh lemon zest for a vibrant flavor in the ricotta cream.
  • Compote and ricotta can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
