When Michael Mina was a boy, his parents used to take him to the
now-defunct Four Seasons hotel in Seattle for Christmas brunch, where
he always ordered waffles. "They were dynamite," he recalls. This
recipe is as close to the one of his childhood as he could get it.
Cornmeal makes the waffles crispy; ricotta keeps them moist.
Note 1: plus more for serving, 1 stick
Total: 45 mins
Makes: 2 dozen 4" waffles
Heat an 8" square waffle iron and preheat the oven to 200F. In a
large bowl, whisk the ricotta with the milk, egg yolks and sugar. In
a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the cornmeal, baking powder and
salt. Whisk the dry ingredients into the ricotta mixture until
combined. Stir in the melted butter.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until
firm peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the waffle batter until no
streaks remain.
Coat the waffle iron with vegetable-oil spray and spoon about 1 1/2
cups of the batter onto the waffle iron. Close and cook until the
waffles are golden and crisp. Serve the waffles immediately or
transfer them to a rack in the oven to keep warm. Serve the cornmeal
waffles with melted butter, maple syrup and crisp bacon.
