Cornmeal Waffles

These waffles taste like cornbread. Serve them as a traditional breakfast food with butter and warm syrup or jam, or serve them hot along with a chili, soup or stew.

Makes ten waffles

1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1cup cornmeal (yellow or white)

2tablespoons granulated sugar

1tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt

1-3/4 cups reduced fat milk

6tablespoons vegetable oil

2large eggs

Place ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine until well blended and smooth. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using. Preheat your Cuisinart® Heart-Shaped Waffle Maker on setting #3 (green indicator light will be illuminated when preheated). *

Pour 1/3 cup batter onto the center of the lower grid; allow batter to spread toward edges for

5 seconds. Close lid of waffle maker – indicator light will turn red. When light turns green again, waffle is ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately. You may keep waffles warm until ready to serve in a 200°F oven.

*We recommend using setting #3 to achieve a golden brown baked waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
