RECIPE BY 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.

 

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (6 oz.) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup club soda
  • 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil

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.

These were amazing! Made them for turkey and gravy leftovers but loved how crispy they were - delicious!

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!
