Light and Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Waffles with Poppy Seeds.

These lemon ricotta waffles are fluffy and tender with the delicate crunch of poppy seeds. There is no better dessert than tasty waffles drizzled with honey and lemon juice.

Ordinary waffles are too heavy and boring for me so I’m always looking for fun new recipes to try.

This is the lemoniest lemon waffles you’ll ever make. All you need to do to get things going is toss some organic lemon zest and sugar in a food processor and pulse them into a flavorful mix. The lemony aroma released as the essential oils in the zest are smashed into the sugar.

Feel free to double the ingredients, waffles can be stored up to 3 days. Winter humid weather makes waffles soggy. I used to just put them in a toaster to reheat. Oh la la, they are so nice and crispy again!
