Time 30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups buttermilk
½ cup ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 ½ teaspoons maple extract
cooking spray
¾ cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
  • Combine buttermilk, ricotta cheese, and eggs in a large bowl; blend with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in melted butter and maple extract. Add flour mixture to buttermilk mixture and stir until just combined but still lumpy; don't overmix or the waffles will be tough and chewy.
  • Lightly spray the waffle iron grids with cooking spray, if needed, following the manufacturer's instructions for cooking. Add about 1 cup of batter depending on the size of your waffle iron, spreading evenly, and sprinkle batter with about 2 to 3 tablespoons pecans.
  • Cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, making sure the waffle is fully cooked before lifting the lid (the steam slows down once the waffles are done). Remove waffle, place on a baking sheet without stacking, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and place in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.

PECAN WAFFLES

One of the pleasures of waffle-making is, and always has been, the limitless flavors with which the waffles may be made and served: a blend of flours (such as whole-wheat and regular flour), cornmeal, various cheeses, nuts (such as pecans or hazelnuts), and so on.

SPICY RICOTTA WAFFLES

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Generous pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup ricotta
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
Salsa, (homemade or store-bought) as an accompaniment
Cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat your waffle iron. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees so you can hold the finished waffles until serving time. Melt the butter and reserve. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper to combine. In a large bowl, beat the ricotta for 1 minute with a mixer until the mixer leaves tracks. Don't worry if it's not completely smooth. Add the eggs and beat for another minute. When the combination is smooth and shiny, add the milk. Turn the dry ingredients into the bowl with the ricotta mixture and whisk gently to combine. Stir in the melted butter. Lightly butter or spray the grids of your waffle iron, if needed. Brush or spray the grids again only if subsequent waffles stick. Spoon out 1 cup of batter for a Belgian waffle maker (or the amount recommended by your waffle maker's instructions) onto hot iron. Spread the batter evenly over the grids with a metal spatula or wooden spoon, stopping right before the edge. Close the lid and bake until pale golden and lightly crisped. Put finished waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep in the preheated oven while you make the rest of the batch.
