Lemon Blueberry Waffles Recipes

Steps:

• Make the ricotta cream: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice and whisk until light and fluffy. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
• Make the compote: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup water and the honey and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, add the lemon juice and let cool at least slightly.
• Make the waffles: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F; set a rack on a baking sheet and put in the oven.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, eggs and lemon zest. Add the flour mixture and mix just until the batter is combined. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• Heat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions; coat with nonstick spray. Pour the batter onto the iron (the amount depends on the size of the iron), leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Close the iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the rack in the oven to keep warm; repeat with the remaining batter.
• To serve, top the waffles with the blueberry compote and ricotta cream. Garnish with lemon zest.

Steps:

• Spray a waffle iron with nonstick spray; heat to medium.
• Gather the biscuit scraps into a ball, then press out as thin as possible on a lightly floured work surface; the thinner the biscuit, the fluffier the waffle will be. With a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits, making sure they will fit into the waffle iron, width-wise.
• When the iron is hot, add the biscuits, one per square, and close the lid. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and repeat.
• Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat until smooth and well incorporated. Add the cream and lemon zest; beat until light and fluffy. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and maple syrup. Set aside.
• To serve, place two waffles on a plate and top with lemon cream, lemon syrup and blueberries.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 3 tablespoons of the sugar.
• In a small bowl, combine the warm water with the yeast and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; stir until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand until bubbles appear, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Using your hands, mix the 1 cup cold butter into the flour, breaking the butter into small pebbles, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients. Keep mixing until a ball starts to form, then gently knead, 12 to 15 times, to create a smooth dough. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and press out to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick. Fold the dough in half, press again to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick, and then fold again. Cut the dough using a 2- to 3-inch round biscuit cutter, depending personal preference. Brush the bottom of a cast-iron skillet with some of the melted butter. Place the biscuits in the skillet; brush the tops with melted butter.
• Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes, depending on size. Brush again with melted butter and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla and cinnamon to a large mixing bowl.
• Add eggs and milk to a separate bowl and whisk until well combined.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir well.
• Add lemon rind, lemon juice and maple syrup to batter and stir well.
• Pre heat waffle iron and pour enough mixture in to lightly cover the base of the iron. Cook per the instructions on your machine.
• Add blueberries to a small saucepan. Mix water and corn flour and add to the pot. Simmer on a very low heat for around 7 minutes.
• Put cooked waffle on a plate, pour on blueberry sauce and a scoop of dairy free ice cream. Drizzle with maple syrup and eat while warm.

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron to desired level of heat - I prefer mine crispy.
• Combine almond milk and vinegar in a large liquid measuring cup or small mixing bowl and let set for a few minutes to curdle/activate. Then add melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon juice and zest, and agave nectar or maple syrup and whisk. Set aside.
• Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.
• Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until well incorporated. Fold in blueberries.
• Once waffle iron is ready, generously coat with non-stick spray or vegan butter and pour on about ? cup of batter. Cook according to manufacturer instructions and then remove and place on a baking rack in a 200 degree oven to keep warm. Do not stack - keep them in a single layer to keep crispy.
• Serve immediately with desired toppings. Store leftovers in a freezer safe bag and reheat in the toaster for best results. Will keep in the freezer for up to a couple months, although they're best when eaten within the first couple weeks.
• Suggested toppings: almond butter or vegan butter, flaxseed, bananas, blueberries, maple syrup.
