Cornmeal Waffles with Blueberry Compote
Ingredients
- Waffles
1 cup flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (I used 1 1/2 cups of oat milk + 1 1/2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar)
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs, well beaten
- Blueberry Compote
2 cups frozen blueberries
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or water
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Directions
- Waffles
- Heat the waffle iron.
- Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs and melted butter. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Whisk until combined. The batter will be lumpy.
- Spoon 1/2 cup of batter (or different amount according to your waffle iron’s instructions–mine takes 2 cups) into the hot waffle maker. Close the lid and bake until the waffle is golden.
- Serve with blueberry compote.
- Blueberry Compote
- Combine 1 cup of the blueberries, water, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over a medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add the rest of the blueberries and cook for 8 minutes more, stirring frequently. Serve warm.
