Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1.75 ounce Red Star Platinum or Active Dry Yeast
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 eggs slightly beaten eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 15 ounces ricotta
  • 1 lemon zest of one lemon
  • 2.5 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey to taste
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • to taste fresh blueberries
  • to taste honey

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Stir together all ingredients for the lemon-honey ricotta in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. Note: if your honey is hard or crystallized, heat it for about 8 to 10 seconds in the microwave, until liquid, then allow it to cool before adding it to the ricotta.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Stir together and allow the mixture to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and maple syrup and stir to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and sea salt. Pour the flour mixture into the bowl with the wet mixture and mix until all clumps are out. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  4. Add the beaten eggs and baking soda to the waffle batter and mix until combined.
  5. Heat your waffle iron and spray it with cooking oil. Measure out about 1/2 cup of batter and pour onto the hot waffle iron. Replace the lid and allow the waffle to cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat for the remaining batter.
  6. Serve waffles with honey-lemon ricotta, a drizzle of honey, and fresh blueberries.

Notes

  • If you eat a gluten-free diet: Use Red Star's Active Dry Yeast instead of the Platinum, as Platinum yeast is not gluten-free.
