Savory Cornmeal Waffles

• 1 1/4 cups flour all-purpose
• 1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal stone ground
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs separated
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled to lukewarm
• 1 tablespoon honey

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
2. Mix in buttermilk, egg yolks, melted butter, and honey until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites until they hold semi-stiff peaks. Fold whites into batter.
4. Ladle a scant cup of batter into KitchenAid(R) Waffle Baker, flip and repeat for other side. Cook for about 4 minutes or until waffles are deep golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a baking sheet in a 225u0b0F oven to keep warm and repeat with remaining batter.
5. Mix 1 cup of shredded cheese into batter prior to cooking. We like a mix of 1/2 cup white cheddar, 1/4 cup manchego, and 1/4 cup grated parmesan. Top with your favorite hearty chili, sour cream, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro.
6. Mix 2/3 cup of chopped fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, and chives into waffle batter. Top with a fried or poached egg and drizzle with creamy hollandaise sauce.
7. Toss fresh arugula, watercress, or other spicy green with a squeeze of lemon juice, a splash of olive oil, and a dash of salt and pepper. Top each waffle with a handful of greens, crumbled goat cheese, and roasted pistachios.
