Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup part-skim ricotta
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 pint fresh blueberries, or 1 pound frozen blueberries, thawed
2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup spelt flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups low-fat buttermilk
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

Make the ricotta cream: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice and whisk until light and fluffy. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Make the compote: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup water and the honey and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, add the lemon juice and let cool at least slightly.
Make the waffles: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F; set a rack on a baking sheet and put in the oven.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, eggs and lemon zest. Add the flour mixture and mix just until the batter is combined. Let rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions; coat with nonstick spray. Pour the batter onto the iron (the amount depends on the size of the iron), leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Close the iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the rack in the oven to keep warm; repeat with the remaining batter.
To serve, top the waffles with the blueberry compote and ricotta cream. Garnish with lemon zest.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pint blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries, or use a combination, if you prefer
3 tablespoons sugar
Juice of half a lemon
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups whole milk
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing the waffle iron

Steps:

Berry compote: In a small saucepan, combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Gently heat until sugar is dissolved. Crush about half of the berries with a wooden spoon; allow the rest to soften but maintain their shape, 10 minutes. Set aside.
Waffles: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the ingredients and pour in the milk and vanilla; whisk thoroughly. Then whisk in warm (not hot) melted butter until fully incorporated. The batter should be thin.
Heat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions. Brush waffle iron on both sides with some of the remaining melted butter. Ladle enough batter to evenly cover the lower plate. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Repeat in batches with remaining batter; make 6-7 waffles.
Assembly: Place waffles on a serving platter, spoon berries on top, and serve.
