Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

3/4 cup fine yellow cornmeal, lightly toasted
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 1/4 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
Melted butter or nonstick cooking spray, for the waffle iron
Whipped Ricotta, for serving, recipe follows
Winter Citrus Syrup, for serving, recipe follows
1 cup whole milk ricotta
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Pinch of salt
3-inch piece of citrus zest (removed with a vegetable peeler from the citrus that you are juicing)
1 cup freshly squeezed orange, tangerine or clementine juice
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup segmented orange, tangerine or clementine
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the cornmeal and cook, stirring often, until lightly golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal with the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar and salt.
  • Whisk together the milk, sour cream and egg yolks in a medium bowl.
  • Add the wet ingredients and the 1 1/2 sticks melted butter to the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined.
  • Beat the egg whites in another medium bowl until soft peaks form. Fold the whites into the batter gently. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours.
  • Heat the waffle iron to high heat. Brush the iron with melted butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter into the iron and cook according to the manufacturer's directions. Top each waffle with a dollop of the whipped ricotta and a few spoonfuls of the winter citrus syrup.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Scrape into a bowl. Can be made 1 day in advance, tightly covered and refrigerated.
  • Combine the zest and juice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until thickened and reduced by half, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and discard the zest, stir in the maple syrup and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat, whisk in the butter until combined. Stir in the citrus segments and salt. Keep warm.

The waffles were good, but the ricotta and syrup were a bit too sweet for my taste.

These waffles were delicious, but I had a bit of trouble getting them to cook evenly. Some of them were overcooked while others were still undercooked.

I'm not a big fan of polenta, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did because the waffles were actually really good. The polenta gave them a nice texture and the ricotta and syrup were a great addition.

I've never had polenta waffles before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the ricotta and syrup were a delightful combination.
