Method

  1. Preheat the waffle iron on medium-high heat.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk them together.

  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the half-and-half, ricotta, butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and egg. Whisk them together.

  4. Add the ricotta mixture to the flour mixture. Whisk them together until well combined.

  5. Spray the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.

  6. Spoon about 3/4 cup of batter into the waffle iron.

  7. Cook the waffle until it turns golden brown and lightly crisp. This usually takes around 3 to 4 minutes, or follow the manufacturer's instructions.

  8. Repeat the previous step with the remaining batter.

  9. For serving the waffles, top each waffle with Raspberry-Mascarpone Whipped Cream, berries, and maple syrup.

  10. In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, and raspberry jam.

  11. Use an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed to whip the mixture until stiff peaks form. This generally takes around 4 minutes.
