PECAN WAFFLES
I've tried for years to duplicate a delicious waffle I ate at a restaurant chain here in the South. This is the closest I've come, and they're crisp and nutty. Butter and maple syrup are my family's favorite toppings. Why not serve them for your holiday brunch? -Susan Jansen, Smyrna, Georgia

Steps:
- Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, pecans, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine. In another bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar and whisk until pale yellow. Add the vanilla extract, 1/2 cup melted butter, and milk, and whisk to blend. Combine the egg and milk mixture with the flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter. Do not overmix.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the waffle iron with some of the vegetable oil. Pour enough batter into the iron to just barely cover the waffle grid. Close the waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions, or until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the remaining waffles.
- In a saute pan, add the remaining 1/2 cup of butter and the pecan pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pecan pieces are light golden and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the banana slices and cook until light golden and soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the syrup and bring to a simmer. Serve with the warm waffles.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250°F and preheat waffle iron. Whisk together flour, pecans, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in buttermilk, 6 tablespoons butter, and egg until smooth (batter will be thick). Spoon batter into waffle iron, using half of batter for 4 (4-inch) standard waffles and spreading batter evenly, and cook according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer waffles to a baking sheet and keep warm, uncovered, in middle of oven. Make more waffles in same manner.
- Halve bananas crosswise and then lengthwise. Roll bananas in sugar to coat. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then saut bananas, starting with cut sides down and turning once, until golden brown. Transfer bananas with a spatula to an oiled baking sheet and cool slightly.
- Put 4 waffles on 4 plates and divide bananas among them. Top bananas with remaining waffles.
BANANA WAFFLES WITH TOASTED PECANS
This recipe is like a cross between crisp waffles and warm banana bread. I like my waffles crispy and the amount of butter in this batter gives these wonderful waffles a nice crisp. Beverage Recommendation: The toasted pecans and the sweet waffles pair nicely with a frothy cafe con leche (steamed milk added to a shot of espresso) or a mug of your favorite java.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° and preheat waffle iron.
- Place pecans in a pie plate or on a baking sheet and spread out so that they are not touching. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly toasted and golden. Remove from oven and let cool. Coarsely chop and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 225°.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, mix milk, melted butter and egg yolks. Slowly stir the liquid into the dry ingredients until JUST moistened - lumps are okay. Fold the 1/2" banana pieces into the batter.
- In a clean bowl with a hand mixer, beat or whisk the egg whites at medium speed until frothy. Increase the speed to high and beat or whisk until firm peaks form and hold their shape. Sprinkle both sugars in bowl and beat or whisk until the whites are stiff and glossy. Fold the whites into the batter until no streaks remain.
- Oil, spray or butter the waffle iron. Ladle batter onto each section of the grid rather than placing it in the middle. The grids should be full but not overflowing, or the batter will seep out the sides of the iron when the top is closed. Bake until the waffle is golden, about 6 minutes, depending on the iron. Carefully lift the lid; if the waffles resist at all, they need a bit more cooking time. Transfer the waffle to an oven rack to keep warm. Continue to cook the remaining batter in 3 batches. There should be no need to re-grease the iron between waffles.
- Place waffles on plates and serve with the toasted pecans, banana slices and warmed maple syrup.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl combine flour,baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl beat together egg yolks, milk, banana, and oil. Gradually stir in the yolk mixture with the flour mixture until combined but slightly lumpy.
- In a medium bowl whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the rest of the batter, leaving a few white fluffs of egg white. * Don't over mix.
- Pour 1 to 1 1/4 cup batter into grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle iron. Close lid quickly and do not open during baking. Bake according to manufacturer's directions.
- When done use a fork to lift waffle from grid. Repeat with remaining batter. Keep waffles warm in oven while cooking remaining waffles. Serve with maple syrup.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh pecans, bananas, and maple syrup will give your waffles the best flavor.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the waffles tough.
- Cook the waffles on a hot griddle: This will help them to cook evenly and get a nice crispy exterior.
- Serve the waffles immediately: Waffles are best when served hot and fresh.
