Cornmeal Waffles With Blueberry Orange Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• For the bacon: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lay bacon on a sheet pan in an even layer, not touching. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the maple syrup, mustard and some pepper in a bowl.
• Remove the pan to a baking rack, then liberally brush the top of the bacon with the maple syrup mixture and let sit for 8 minutes.
• For the creamy ricotta: Whisk together the ricotta, orange zest, 1 tablespoon heavy cream and some salt and pepper in a bowl until smooth and creamy. If too thick and dry, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons heavy cream.
• For the waffles: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Put the butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until deep golden brown. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, sea salt and baking soda in a large bowl until combined.
• Put the yolks in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract to the yolks and whisk to combine.
• Put the egg whites in a medium bowl and beat until soft peaks form.
• Add the yolk mixture to the dry mixture, along with the butter, then whisk until the batter just comes together. Fold in the egg whites.
• Heat a waffle iron and brush the grates with butter. Spoon about 1/2 cup batter into each waffle well and cook until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Keep warm on a rack set on top of a baking sheet in the oven while you cook the remaining waffles and the eggs.
• For the eggs: Add 2 tablespoons butter to a nonstick pan over medium-high heat and let melt. Carefully crack 3 eggs into the pan and cook until set on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully flip the eggs with a spatula so that you don't break the yolks. Cook until just set, an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat the process using the remaining butter and eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Top each waffle with some creamy ricotta, an egg and some bacon.

Steps:

• Preheat your waffle iron. Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs and melted butter. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the ingredients are just barely combined. (Do not over mix the batter or your waffles will be tough.)
• Brush your waffle iron with butter. Add the batter and cook according to manufacturer's directions.
• Top the waffles with butter and maple syrup and serve with your favorite topping. (We like sliced bananas or strawberries.)

Steps:

• Syrup: combine the blueberries, sugar, orange juice, and cinnamon in a saucepan; stir well.
• Bring to a boil, then decrease heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
• Remove from heat and set aside.
• Waffles: preheat a waffle iron.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In another bowl, beat together the milk, egg, and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.
• Pour into the flour mixture and stir until combined.
• Grease the waffle iron with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter.
• Ladle the batter, about 1/4 cup at a time, onto the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's directions until golden.
• Transfer the waffles to a plate; keep warm.
• Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter if needed.
• Divide the waffles among individual plates, top with the blueberry-orange syrup and serve.

Steps:

• For the cornmeal waffles: Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Combine the buttermilk and sour cream in a 2-cup measuring cup. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk mixture, melted butter and eggs. Mix until well combined, then allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat a waffle iron (to medium-high heat if the waffle iron has a heat setting). Grease the waffle iron with cooking spray. Working in batches, add the batter in 1/2 cup increments or the amount recommended by the waffle iron manufacturer and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a platter or plates.
• For the blackberry syrup: Put the blackberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until simmering, about 1 minute. Mash the blackberries with a potato masher until broken down and their juices are released. Cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Stir in the butter and lemon juice and serve warm.
• Serve the waffles with the warm blackberry syrup.

Steps:

• Melt 5 tablespoons butter either on the stove or in the microwave. Set aside.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter until foam subsides. Add bananas in a single layer. Cook, without moving, until undersides are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes; flip and brown other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add bourbon to pan and let simmer until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Pour in syrup and nuts; simmer until just heated through. Pour syrup onto the bananas and cover to keep warm (or reheat just before serving).
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream or yogurt, milk, melted butter and egg yolks. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
• In a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Immediately fold into batter.
• Heat a waffle iron and, using a pastry brush or paper towel, lightly coat with melted butter. Cook waffles (using about 1/2 cup batter per waffle) until golden and crisp. Butter the iron in between batches as needed. Serve waffles immediately as they are ready, or keep warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve. Serve with banana syrup on top.
