For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add the zest of one lemon to the wet ingredients. If you don't have half-and-half, you can use a mixture of milk and cream. These waffles are best served immediately, but they can be reheated in a toaster or oven. For a savory twist, reduce the sugar to 2 tablespoons and add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the dry ingredients.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, ricotta cheese, eggs, melted butter, and lemon extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. (3 minutes)
04
StepPour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. (2 minutes)
05
StepCoat the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the waffle iron in batches, using the amount recommended by the manufacturer. (1 minute)
06
StepCook the waffles until they are crisp and golden brown, and the iron stops steaming. This usually takes about 4-6 minutes per waffle, depending on your iron. (6 minutes)
07
