SCALLION CORNMEAL WAFFLES

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
Kosher salt
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
10 large eggs
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Cooking spray
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup of the grated cheese in a large mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk 2 eggs, then whisk in the buttermilk and vegetable oil. Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
  • Preheat a waffle iron and coat with cooking spray. Pour some of the batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the waffles to a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 8 eggs with the scallion in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and gently stir with a rubber spatula until just set, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover to keep warm.
  • Just before serving, preheat the broiler to low. Scatter the remaining 1 cup grated cheese over the waffles and broil just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Top the waffles with the scrambled eggs.

BUTTERMILK CORNMEAL WAFFLES



Buttermilk Cornmeal Waffles image

*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!

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 egg whites
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
¼ cup canola oil
2 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
  • Whisk flour, cornmeal, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, white sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk buttermilk, canola oil, and egg yolks together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until batter is smooth. Gently fold egg whites into batter until just mixed.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup batter into preheated waffle iron; cook according to manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor. Fresh cornmeal has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor that will shine through in the waffles.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the waffles tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest before cooking. This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and will help the waffles to rise.
  • Cook the waffles over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the waffles immediately. Waffles are best when served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Scallion cornmeal waffles are a delicious and versatile breakfast food. They can be served with a variety of toppings, including butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. They can also be used to make sandwiches or wraps. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy cornmeal, give scallion cornmeal waffles a try.
