Ingredients
- 1 cup blue cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0 cooking spray or melted butter for waffle iron
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the blue cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
Step 5
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the waffle batter using a spatula. This will help make the waffles light and fluffy.
Step 7
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
Step 8
Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron (amount depending on the size of your waffle maker) and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4–5 minutes per waffle or according to your waffle maker's directions.
Step 9
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 10
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, honey, fresh berries, or even a dollop of whipped cream.
