Equipment

Ingredients

  • Zest of one lemon
  • 3 tbs sugar
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 195 g
  • ½ cup cornstarch 60 g
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine grain kosher or sea salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk 240 g
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup ricotta 120 g
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil 60 g
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter 60 g melted
  • 3 tbs lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbs blueberry preserves

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, add lemon zest to granulated sugar. Using your fingers, rub the zest into the sugar. Add flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix well.
  • In another medium bowl, thoroughly whisk together ricotta cheese, buttermilk, and milk until no lumps of ricotta remain. Add oil, melted butter, lemon juice, and eggs and whisk again.
  • Sift dry ingredients over wet ingredients and, using a rubber or silicone spatula, fold the dry into the wet. Mix until just combined. There will be some lumps, which is absolutely fine. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Warm blueberry preserves for about 15 seconds in the microwave. Drop by teaspoonsful onto the top of the batter. Using a butter knife, or a long skewer, swirl the preserves into the batter, reaching all the way to the bottom of the bowl. Don’t over-swirl.
  • Using a measuring cup, or a large scoop, drop batter (as much as is recommended by your waffle maker’s manufacturer) onto waffle maker. Cook as directed, or until steam stops billowing from the waffle maker, about 4-5 minutes.
    Keep warm in a 200°F oven while you finish cooking the rest of your waffles.
  • Serve with warm maple syrup and fresh blueberries.
