Steps:
- Melt the butter in a small skillet. Saute the chili in the butter just until tender, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool. Combine the corn flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt and red pepper flakes. Stir in the half-and-half, milk and butter-chili mixture. Stir in the cheese, then fold in the beaten egg whites. Heat a nonstick Belgian waffle iron until hot. Spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray or brush it with oil. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and release easily from the iron. Repeat until all batter is used. Serve the waffles with Mexican crema and maple syrup or salsa. Accompany with pork sausage links. * Corn flour is available in the natural food sections of some supermarkets.
CORNMEAL WAFFLES WITH BANANA BOURBON SYRUP
Cornmeal adds crunch and sweetness to these fluffy waffles, which are lightened with beaten egg whites. If you'd prefer a little more fiber, you can substitute a third of the all-purpose flour with whole-wheat or rye flour. The banana bourbon syrup, studded with pecans, makes these waffles sweet enough for dessert. If you do go that route, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream would not be amiss. Or serve the waffles with some butter, sliced bananas and a drizzle of plain maple syrup for a simple but satisfying breakfast.

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.

BUTTERMILK CORNMEAL WAFFLES
*Update - When I posted this recipe I hadn't tried them yet. Since then I have made them a couple of times. In addition to the posted ingredients I like to add 1/2 cup wheat germ, and 1 T vanilla (1 also add whole eggs instead of just egg whites.) They freeze really well. My Mom gave me this recipe but I'm not sure from where... with all the changes, it's mine now!

Steps:
- Into a large bowl sift together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Repeat sifting 2 more times and stir in wheat germ.
- In another large bowl whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and oil. Add flour mixture all at once and whisk just until combined.
- Preheat a waffle iron and preheat oven to 200 °F.
- Brush waffle iron lightly with additional oil. Spoon batter into waffle iron, using 1/4 cup batter for each 4-inch-square standard waffle and spreading batter evenly, and cook according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer waffle to a baking sheet and keep warm, uncovered, in middle of oven. Make more waffles with remaining batter in same manner, brushing waffle iron with mire oil before adding each batch.
- Serve waffles with syrup.
Tips:
- Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than cornmeal that has been sitting on the shelf for a while. If you can, grind your own cornmeal from fresh corn kernels.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the waffles tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and will help the waffles to be light and fluffy.
- Cook the waffles on a hot waffle iron. A hot waffle iron will help the waffles to cook evenly and will prevent them from sticking.
- Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Waffles are best when served fresh and hot. Top them with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Cornmeal Belgian waffles are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. They are perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious waffles in no time. .
