What? Yup, these are a ricotta cheese based waffle and are they delicious! We sometimes have them for dinners as a nice change so I usually have to double the recipe.

4 Tbsp. butter
1 3/4 cup flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
Pinch of cayenne pepper – optional
1 1/4 cups milk

Preheat your waffle iron per manufacturer’s instructions.

Melt the butter and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, powder, soda, salt & pepper to combine. In a large bowl, beat the ricotta for 1 full minute with mixer – it won’t be completely smooth. Add the eggs and beat for another full minute. When it is smooth & shiny looking, add the milk. Place the dry ingredients into the bowl with the cheese mixture and gently whisk to combine. Stir in the butter.

Prepare according to your waffle iron manufacturer’s directions.
