Waffles are definitely a weekend breakfast treat - this recipe comes from Christine Cushing. Adding the softly whipped egg whites to the batter will make the waffles nice and fluffy. Serve with pure Canadian maple syrup, fresh berries & whipped cream or pair with blueberry sauce (#78222)...to use Christine's words...wicked!

SCALLION CORNMEAL WAFFLES



Scallion Cornmeal Waffles image

For many alumni, homecoming week at the nation's H.B.C.U.s - historically Black colleges and universities - culminates with day parties and brunches, where waffles are almost always on the menu. These crispy, savory cornmeal waffles are a weekend must-make and fancier than a pancake stack. They are also the perfect base for berry-jam fried chicken. Use full-fat buttermilk here, and feel free to swap in the oil of your choice. A citrus salad with peanuts and avocado, or crispy tofu, make a lovely accompaniment if you don't eat meat.

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup fine white cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 1/3 cups full-fat buttermilk
4 scallions, trimmed and cut on an angle into 3/4-inch pieces (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Nonstick cooking spray, as needed
Berry-Jam Fried Chicken (optional), maple syrup, powdered sugar, berry jam and butter, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, red-pepper flakes and salt and whisk well.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs well, then stir in the buttermilk, scallions and olive oil. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
  • Heat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and coat the iron with nonstick spray as needed. (Some waffle irons are nonstick and might not need to be sprayed or brushed with fat.) Ladle in about 3/4 cup of batter and heat until cooked through. Waffle doneness is similar to toast: For waffles with more than a few toppings and protein, cook until golden.
  • Transfer cooked waffles to a large baking sheet. (The waffles can be made ahead, cooled and stored in the freezer. You can reheat them in the oven at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.)
  • Top warm waffles with a piece of fried chicken or crispy tofu, if you like, along with maple syrup. Using a tea strainer, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Using a small melon baller, top with a scoop of berry jam and butter.
