CHEDDAR CORNBREAD WAFFLES FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Whisk together the dry ingredients.
• In a smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry, folding together until just combined. Don't over mix -the batter should be shaggy, vs smooth.
• Add in the melted butter, and cheese, folding together gently. Again - don't over mix!!
• Heat your waffle maker. I like to use a high setting (but yours may be different - keep an eye on it!)
• Grease the waffle maker, then add around 3/4 cup of batter for large Belgian style waffles. Use 1/2 cup for the flatter, less deep waffle irons.
• Cook until browned and crispy.
• Top with hot chili, sour cream, extra cheese and a little cilantro.
• Devour!

CHEDDAR CORNBREAD WAFFLES

Steps:

• Sift together first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in cheese. Combine eggs and next 3 ingredients; gently stir into dry ingredients just until blended.
• Spray waffle iron with cooking spray. Spoon batter onto preheated waffle iron. Cook 3-5 minutes or until crisp and done. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Transfer waffles to a baking sheet, and keep warm, uncovered, in the oven at 200° until ready to serve. Waffles can be frozen in zip-top freezer bags and reheated in oven or toaster oven.

CORNBREAD-CHEDDAR WAFFLES WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup of the grated cheese in a large mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk 2 eggs, then whisk in the buttermilk and vegetable oil. Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
• Preheat a waffle iron and coat with cooking spray. Pour some of the batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the waffles to a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 8 eggs with the scallion in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and gently stir with a rubber spatula until just set, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover to keep warm.
• Just before serving, preheat the broiler to low. Scatter the remaining 1 cup grated cheese over the waffles and broil just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Top the waffles with the scrambled eggs.

JALAPENO CORNBREAD WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, blend together the cornmeal through buttermilk powder. In a 2 cup measuring cup, measure 1 1/4 cups of warm water, oil and egg yolks. Add the liquid ingredients to dry and combine thoroughly. Mix in additional water as needed to make a smooth batter. Stir in the corn, cheese and peppers. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into mixture.
• Preheat waffle iron as per manufacturers directions. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Spoon batter onto to hot waffle iron and bake until golden brown. Repeat for additional waffles.
• Please note: My waffle iron is a 2 waffle Belgian waffle iron and each waffle measures 4 in x 3-1/2 inches.
