Cornmeal Waffles With Banana Bourbon Syrup Food

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.

• Meanwhile, preheat a waffle iron (to medium-high heat if the waffle iron has a heat setting). Grease the waffle iron with cooking spray. Working in batches, add the batter in 1/2 cup increments or the amount recommended by the waffle iron manufacturer and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a platter or plates.
• For the blackberry syrup: Put the blackberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until simmering, about 1 minute. Mash the blackberries with a potato masher until broken down and their juices are released. Cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Stir in the butter and lemon juice and serve warm.
• Serve the waffles with the warm blackberry syrup.
