Buttermilk Corn Waffles

Today was the perfect lazy Saturday. We slept till 10:30, watched Blood Diamond and drank coffee. We didn't have much in the way of breakfast food in the house. But we DID have cornmeal, flour, and a carton of buttermilk left over from when I made biscuits. Buttermilk corn waffles! I had made these before for a chicken-and-waffles party: they're great, way better than regular no-corn waffles.

All this stuff was already in the house!

Adam has only once in his life requested an item of cooking equipment: an industrial waffle iron. It's huge and heavy. You usually only see these in the dining hall at college or camp. But we have one in our house. 

Buttermilk Corn Waffles 

Ingredients: 

1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
2 TB sugar
1 TB baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk

3 TB water 
2 TB vegetable oil (light olive or canola) 
2 large eggs

What to do: 

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.  

2. Pour into a greased waffle iron and cook. 

3. Top with whatever you want and enjoy! 

Don't overfill the waffle iron or it will poop out the sides like this.

Yum.
