Belgian Corn Meal Waffles

PDF version

Plain white or yellow corn meal work equally well in this recipe.

Whole milk will work in this recipe, but I use skim milk and it works just fine.

Instead of vanilla extract, orange or almond extract tastes good, too.

Approx. Cook Time:

25 min.

Ingredients

2 cups Yellow Plain Corn Meal

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

3 tbsp sugar

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

2 large eggs - separated and at room temperature

1 1/4 cups milk

1/3 cup shortening - melted

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

In a large bowl, sift together House-Autry Yellow Plain Corn Meal, baking powder, salt, sugar and pumpkin pie spice; set aside. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks; whisk in milk and melted shortening. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; fold into yolk mixture.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients; whisk to combine completely and eliminate lumps. Add vanilla extract. Pour batter into a well-greased, preheated waffle iron. Cook for 5 minutes, or until no steam escapes.

Meal Suggestions:

Great for breakfast, yes, but try these for dinner with fried chicken.
