CORNMEAL WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron, and coat with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Make a well in the center, and stir in the buttermilk just until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with an electric mixer until thick enough to hold a soft peak. Carefully fold the egg whites into the batter.
• Spoon batter onto the hot waffle iron in an amount appropriate for your iron. Close, and cook until the iron stops steaming, and the waffles are golden brown.

SOURDOUGH WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and 1 1/2 cups warm water. Whisk until well combined and no lumps remain. Add more water if necessary to achieve the proper consistency. Add sourdough starter, and whisk to combine. Cover batter with plastic wrap, and let sit at room temperature (place it in the sink in case the batter bubbles over), for at least 12 hours.
• Heat a nonstick waffle iron. Remove 1/2 cup batter, and add to remaining sourdough starter to keep the starter alive.
• Add cornmeal and salt to batter, and whisk to combine. Whisk in oil and egg yolks. Combine baking soda with 1 tablespoon water, and stir into batter. In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites to stiff glossy peaks, then fold into batter.
• Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray. Spoon in batter to fill but not overflow iron. Close lid; bake until no steam emerges from waffle iron, 3 to 5 minutes. Quickly flip the waffle back and forth between hands to cool it and to ensure an even crispness on both sides. Repeat with remaining batter. Place the waffles on serving plates. Serve with desired toppings.

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.
