Cornmeal Waffles

Ingredients
  • 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 3 tbsp + 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1.5 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Add oil and butter and whisk until smooth.

Make waffles. The waffle iron will tell you what to do.

Thoughts: Awesome. The cornmeal gives a crunchy texture to the outside of the waffle, while the inside stays fluffy. What else is there to say? This waffle recipe is probably one of the best we've made. It's as good as my grandmother's recipe (see some earlier month -- I don't know, December?), but in a completely different way. The taste is totally awesome. Please make this recipe. That is all.

Also good with strawberries and basil creme fraiche (or basil whipped cream).
