A Perfect Pantry

INGREDIENTS

• 2½ cups self-raising flour
• 2 tsp baking powder 
• ½ tsp salt
• 4 large eggs, separated
• 2½ cups milk
• 150g unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla paste
• 2½ tbsp caster sugar
• 1 cup ricotta cheese

LEMON CURD

• 75g unsalted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 75g caster sugar
• 125ml lemon juice
• Zest of half a lemon

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the waffle press until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
2. In a large bowl mix together flour, baking powder and salt.
3. In another bowl mix together egg yolks, milk, butter and vanilla paste and whisk into the dry flour mix.
4. Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add the sugar and continue whisking until the sugar dissolves; the egg whites will be thick and glossy. Fold through the other mixture.
5. Spoon 1/3 cup of batter into the waffle press. Lower the lid, lock it down and cook for 4 minutes or until desired doneness. Remove with silicon tongs.
6. Lay a waffle on the plate and spoon lemon curd on top, followed by some ricotta.
7. Make sure the green ‘READY’ light is illuminated before cooking another batch.
