Cornmeal Waffles With Blackberry Syrup Recipes

CORNMEAL WAFFLES WITH BANANA BOURBON SYRUP

Steps:

• Melt 5 tablespoons butter either on the stove or in the microwave. Set aside.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter until foam subsides. Add bananas in a single layer. Cook, without moving, until undersides are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes; flip and brown other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add bourbon to pan and let simmer until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Pour in syrup and nuts; simmer until just heated through. Pour syrup onto the bananas and cover to keep warm (or reheat just before serving).
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream or yogurt, milk, melted butter and egg yolks. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
• In a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Immediately fold into batter.
• Heat a waffle iron and, using a pastry brush or paper towel, lightly coat with melted butter. Cook waffles (using about 1/2 cup batter per waffle) until golden and crisp. Butter the iron in between batches as needed. Serve waffles immediately as they are ready, or keep warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve. Serve with banana syrup on top.

CORNMEAL WAFFLES WITH BLUEBERRY-ORANGE SYRUP

Steps:

• Syrup: combine the blueberries, sugar, orange juice, and cinnamon in a saucepan; stir well.
• Bring to a boil, then decrease heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
• Remove from heat and set aside.
• Waffles: preheat a waffle iron.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In another bowl, beat together the milk, egg, and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.
• Pour into the flour mixture and stir until combined.
• Grease the waffle iron with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter.
• Ladle the batter, about 1/4 cup at a time, onto the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's directions until golden.
• Transfer the waffles to a plate; keep warm.
• Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter if needed.
• Divide the waffles among individual plates, top with the blueberry-orange syrup and serve.

CRISPY CORNMEAL WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron.
• Set oven on low to keep waffles warm after they are cooked.
• Mix the dry ingredients together.
• In another bowl, mix the all the wet ingredients together including the melted butter.
• Pour the wet into the dry and mix just until they are combined.
• Lightly spray your waffle iron with non-stick and pour about 1/2 c.
• batter for each waffle.
• Cook until browned and crisp.
• NOTE: I like to serve these with maple syrup and citrus fruit sections, along with some browned breakfast sausages.
