Pecan Ricotta Waffles Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat.
• Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. In a separate medium bowl, add the half-and-half, ricotta, butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla and egg and whisk to combine. Add the ricotta mixture to the flour mixture and whisk to combine.
• Spray the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and spoon about 3/4 cup of batter into the waffle iron. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and lightly crisp, 3 to 4 minutes (or according to manufacturer's instructions). Repeat with remaining batter.
• To serve the waffles: top each waffle with a dollop of Raspberry-Mascarpone Whipped Cream, berries and maple syrup.
• Add the heavy cream, mascarpone and raspberry jam to a large bowl. Whip on medium-high speed with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.

Steps:

• For the Banana-Pecan Syrup:
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the nuts and saute for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the bananas and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the syrup and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the syrup is hot and slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside in a warm place.
• For the Ricotta Pancakes:
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt together onto waxed paper or a plate. Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer or whisk until stiff but not dry. Beat the egg yolks, milk, and ricotta together in a large bowl until well blended and smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix gently with a large spoon. Stir a spoonful of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it, then fold in the remaining egg whites with a rubber spatula.
• Warm a serving platter in a 200 degree F oven.
• Heat a nonstick flat griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until hot. Grease with butter or vegetable oil. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancakes over using a large wide spatula. Cook on the other side for 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the pancakes to the warm platter.
• Serve immediately or hold in the oven while you cook the rest of the pancakes. Serve the pancakes on heated plates topped with the syrup.
