Makes 2 waffles

Ingredients

50g Buckwheat Flour
30g Butter, melted in a small pan until brown
1 tsp Coconut Sugar
½ Lemon, zest
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Egg
20g Ricotta
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
50ml Water
1 ½ tsp Toasted Poppy Seeds
Pinch of Baking Soda
Pinch of Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt

Method

Start by making beautifully fragrant zesty sugar - put the sugar into a small bowl, add grated lemon zest and using a teaspoon, rub the zest into the sugar, so that the oils from the zest get released. This way you get the maximum flavour out of the zest and your waffles will be delicious.
Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and toasted poppy seeds and salt in a small bowl.
In a larger bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients - egg, water, cooled brown butter, ricotta, vanilla extract, lemon juice and zesty sugar and stir well to combine.
Now add the dry mix into the wet mix and mix it well, until it's combined. No need to overmix though.
Spoon the batter into your greased waffle maker and wait until the waffles are golden brown. Serve with berries, Greek yoghurt and maple syrup
