Crisp Cheddar-Cornmeal Waffles
Oxmoor House
These waffles are crisp and interesting on their own or with syrup, but crown them with some Chicken à la King and they become fancy brunch fare.
How to Make It
Step 1
Sift together first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in cheese and pecans. Combine eggs and next 3 ingredients; gently stir into dry ingredients just until blended.
Step 2
Spoon a heaping 1 cup batter evenly onto a preheated, lightly greased waffle iron. Cook 5 to 10 minutes or until crisp and done. Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 3
Transfer waffles to a baking sheet, and keep warm, uncovered, in the oven at 200° until ready to serve. Waffles can be frozen in zip-top freezer bags and reheated in oven or toaster oven.
Step 4
Note: To make Belgian waffles, spoon 2 cups batter into a preheated, greased Belgian waffle iron with 4 square grids. Cook until crisp and done.

Very light and crisp, tender inside - not too crunchy. Cheddar flavour was not as distinct as I was hoping (I used yellow sharp cheddar), but otherwise a fantastic recipe! Simple and easy to make - could be quite versatile. I served with fried chicken and the family loved it. My only tip is to add the club soda at the last possible moment before cooking. We're trying the Chicken a la King recipe tonight!
