Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
Kosher salt
1 3/4 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta
3 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons lemon zest and 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
Nonstick cooking spray

Raspberry-Mascarpone Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
4 ounces mascarpone
3 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
Directions
- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat.
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. In a separate medium bowl, add the half-and-half, ricotta, butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla and egg and whisk to combine. Add the ricotta mixture to the flour mixture and whisk to combine.
- Spray the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and spoon about 3/4 cup of batter into the waffle iron. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and lightly crisp, 3 to 4 minutes (or according to manufacturer's instructions). Repeat with remaining batter.
