CORNMEAL WAFFLES
About 6 waffles

Terrific with syrup and sausages, these can also be cut into wedges and paired with fried chicken.

Preheat a waffle iron.

Whisk together in a large bowl:

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (160g) fine cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Whisk together in another medium bowl:

  • 2 cups (485g) buttermilk
  • 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup (80g) maple syrup
  • 2 large egg yolks (whites reserved)

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Whisk the wet ingredients into the flour mixture with a few swift strokes. Beat until stiff but not dry:

  • 2 large egg whites

Fold into the batter. Cook, keep warm, and serve as for Waffles.
