Equipment
- Waffle maker
- Mixing bowl
- Ballon whisk
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ground cornmeal
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs separated
- 1/4 cup honey or Maple Syrup
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Hot paprika
Instructions
- Separate the egg yolk from the egg white.
- Mix all dry ingredients together, including spices. In a separate bowl, place all wet ingredients including egg yolks except for the egg white.
- Using a whisk, whip the egg whites until they are light and fluffy with peaks.
- Add all the wet ingredients (except for egg whites) with the dry, and then slowly fold in the egg whites. This will help the waffles be a bit more airy, especially when the cornmeal will make them heavier.
- Finally, let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes while you heat up the waffle iron. When hot, lightly grease with butter or nonstick spray. Pour a bit of batter onto the iron, and cook until golden brown. Top with your toppings of choice, such as poached egg and sausages.
