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!"

Reviews

  1. Where's the baking powder? They definitely need baking powder. I also felt the flour/cornmeal ratio was off (more cornmeal).
     
  2. Very yummy and hearty. I love that there isn't any extra sugar. I used 2 whole eggs, and ground flax. Topped with homemade blueberry syrup.
     
  3. Fantastic waffles! I used the suggestions given. I ended up using 1/2 cup ground flax meal, 1 T. vanilla (great addition) and 2 whole eggs (I forgot to separate them and whip the whites - but it seemed just fine!). I loved the taste and texture the cormeal added to these waffles. I also loved that I could hide a really healthy ingredient, flax, and it was still enjoyed by my kids! Kudos to you, kitty!
     
  4. I can't say enough good things about this waffle I think it's one of the best yet I have made, I used the wheat germ and that is what gave these so much flavor, I also added in 1 tablespoon sugar, this will be one I will make again, thanks for posting this great waffle recipe Kitty, this was make for KK's Chef Pick Forum game
     
  5. I REALLY liked these. I used all of the modifications and thought they turned out excellent. They had some texture, got a bit crispy and I like that they don't use that much oil compared to other recipes.

Tweaks

  1. Tough/impossible to get buttermilk in Mexico. I've adapted the recipe on the side of Saco Buttermilk Blend with some tweaks. I use 2/3 cup whole wheat flour, 1/3 cup of cornmeal, and delete the sugar called for. Since I typically make the recipe as waffles, I add an extra egg. I use a hand electric mixer and beat it quite well. The waffles freeze well and come to life in the toaster!
