Corn Waffles With Strawberry Syrup Food

CORN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 200 F - this is to keep them warm as you make more batches. Skip this step if you are serving them as they come out of the waffle iron .
• Heat the waffle iron on a medium setting, following the instructions in your waffle iron brochure or manual.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
• In another bowl, combine the eggs and milk; whisk until well blended. Whisk in the 1/4 cup of melted butter.
• Add the egg and milk mixture to the flour mixture and blend thoroughly. Stir in the corn kernels. If necessary, add more milk to make the batter thin enough to flow when poured into the waffle iron.
• Following the appliance directions, fill the waffle iron with the batter, gently spreading as needed.
• When the first batch is done, remove them to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven to keep warm while you cook subsequent batches.
• To serve, drizzle the corn waffles with melted butter and maple syrup or dust them with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!

BUTTERMILK CORN WAFFLE WITH BERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• For the berry syrup: Combine 1/2 cup blackberries, 1/2 cup blueberries and the syrup in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries begin to pop and the syrup reduces slightly, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining berries. Cover and keep warm.
• For the waffle batter: Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high if there are settings (but it's ok if there aren't any). Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and corn kernels in a large bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, vanilla, eggs and butter in another bowl. Fold the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's ok if there are lumps).
• Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter, then fill each section about three-quarters of the way full (there should still be some waffle iron showing). Close and cook until the waffles are golden brown and slightly crisp, 6 to 10 minutes. Keep waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you repeat with the remaining batter.
• Drizzle each waffle with berry syrup.

WAFFLES WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Into a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved and eggs have turned a pale yellow. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and whisk to combine. Add the flour mixture to the egg-milk mixture and whisk just until blended. Do not overmix. In a third bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter, being careful not to overmix. Coat the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray, if required, and pour enough batter in the iron to just cover the waffle grid. Close and cook as per the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. (Do not open the waffle iron for at least 1 minute.) Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve immediately with Strawberry Syrup spooned over the top of each waffle.
• In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the strawberries are soft and the syrup is thickened and reduced by one-third to one-half in volume, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature before serving. (If thinner syrup is desired, strain the hot syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container and let cool.)

BLUE CORN WAFFLES

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. In separate bowl mix together buttermilk, egg and melted butter.

STRAWBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a blender; cover and process until pureed. Transfer to a small saucepan; add the sugar, corn syrup, lemon juice and butter. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute. Skim off foam. Strain seeds if desired. Serve warm with waffles or pancakes. Refrigerate leftovers; warm before serving.

CORN WAFFLES WITH MAPLE-STRAWBERRY BUTTER

Steps:

• Whip 8 tablespoons butter and the maple syrup on high speed until light and fluffy.
• Add the strawberries slowly and blend to incorporate. The powdered sugar should be added sparingly if the moisture from the strawberries causes the butter to seperate. The sugar will bind it back together.
• Refridgerate until waffles are ready.
• Preheat waffle iron.
• Mix together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
• Mix together eggs, buttermilk, and butter in another bowl.
• Mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
• Stir in the corn.
• Cook according to waffle makers instructions. They should be browned and crispy.
• Serve warm with Maple-Strawberry Butter.
