Ingredients
- Zest of 2 lemons, plus the juice of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 Meyer lemon
- 1/2 cup superfine sugar
- Coconut oil spray
- 2 egg whites, beaten until stiff peaks form
- 1 cup Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix

Directions
- Light your fire and let it burn down for 1 hour or until you obtain medium heat.
- In a small cast-iron pot, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. Then set the pot over the coals and boil until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool.
- Place a cast-iron waffle maker over the fire and let it heat up, then spray well with coconut oil.
- In a mixing bowl, lightly fold together the beaten egg white, Kodiak mix, milk, and ricotta. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Carefully open the waffle iron and spoon in some of the batter. Close the waffle iron and cook over the fire, turning occasionally, for 5–8 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the ricotta waffles with a drizzle of lemon syrup and a dollop of whipping cream.
