Buttermilk Belgian Waffles

Buttermilk Belgian Waffles Ingredients: • 4 medium eggs • 1 packet of dry yeast • 2 and 1/2 cup of flour • 2 cups of luke warm buttermilk • 1/2 cup of melted butter • 1 Tablespoon of sugar • 1 teaspoon of vanilla • 1/2 teaspoon of salt • Sift together the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl and set aside.  Preparation:  • In a separate bowl dissolve one yeast packet in luke warm buttermilk. Separate 4 eggs, keeping the egg whites in a separate bowl. • Egg yolks should be beaten and then mixed with the buttermilk and yeast mixture and add the vanilla here too. • Add the flour mixture to the egg yolk/buttermilk mixture and stir. Then stir in the melted butter. Now beat the egg whites until they are stiff and "peaked" and then fold them into the batter. • Let the batter sit 20 - 45 minutes. • Scoop about a 1 to 1 1/2 cup in the the Belgian waffle iron.  • Batter is thick so it is easy to spread along the iron. I have a flip top so it's about 2 minutes baking each side.

• Spray a shallow baking pan with nonstick coating. Set aside. For filling, in a bowl combine ricotta cheese, the 2 tablespoons orange marmalade, the sugar, and cinnamon. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling onto the unbrowned side of a crepe; spread out slightly.

• To fold: -

1) Fold in half. Fold in half again, forming a wedge;

or 2) Fold like a burrito by folding in the sides and then rolling forward over the filling like a cigar.

• Arrange assembled blintzes in prepared pan.

• Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through. To serve, spoon 2 teaspoons of sour cream and 1 teaspoon of marmalade onto each blintz. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and berries.
