4Tablespoonsunsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1lemon, zest only
½Cupricotta cheese + some for topping the waffles
Pinchof salt
Date Syrup:
12dates, diced
½cupwater
½cupmaple syrup
Instructions
For syrup, dice dates, removing seeds. Stir together with water and syrup in a small saucepan until it’s simmering. Cook until it reduces to a syrup. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix wet ingredients (eggs/milk/butter) in a smaller bowl.
Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients until well combined. The batter should be thick, but not dry or clumpy.
Stir in ricotta cheese and lemon zest.
Heat up waffle iron and spray it with nonstick spray or rub it down with some oil.
Add batter to iron (½ cup is a good start) and cook until waffle is crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Smear hot waffle with extra ricotta cheese and serve with date syrup and extra syrup.
