Homemade Ricotta Waffles
Serves 4 to 6

We feature raised waffles on special occasions at Pot Pie Farm; these lacy cheese waffles are a simpler, faster version of that morning treat. I borrowed this recipe from my artist friend and inspired cook, Linda Bills. The only change is substituting fresh ricotta cheese from Blue Ridge Dairy in Loudoun County, Virginia.

1/2 cup all-purpose white flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup ricotta or sieved cottage cheese
4 farm eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil

1. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and beat with a whisk or a rotary beater until mixture is smooth. Ladle onto a hot, lightly oiled waffle iron; cook until nicely browned. Serve warm.
