Cornmeal Waffles With Banana Bourbon Syrup Recipes

CORNMEAL WAFFLES WITH BANANA BOURBON SYRUP

Steps:

• Melt 5 tablespoons butter either on the stove or in the microwave. Set aside.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter until foam subsides. Add bananas in a single layer. Cook, without moving, until undersides are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes; flip and brown other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add bourbon to pan and let simmer until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Pour in syrup and nuts; simmer until just heated through. Pour syrup onto the bananas and cover to keep warm (or reheat just before serving).
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream or yogurt, milk, melted butter and egg yolks. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
• In a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Immediately fold into batter.
• Heat a waffle iron and, using a pastry brush or paper towel, lightly coat with melted butter. Cook waffles (using about 1/2 cup batter per waffle) until golden and crisp. Butter the iron in between batches as needed. Serve waffles immediately as they are ready, or keep warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve. Serve with banana syrup on top.

• Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the heated waffle iron. Amount may be different for different irons. Place a strip of raw bacon over the batter across each section of the waffle iron. Close the lid, and cook until steam is no longer coming out, and the waffle is golden brown.
• For the cheese sauce, melt processed cheese in a bowl in the microwave. Gradually stir in milk until you reach your desired thickness. Drizzle cheese sauce over waffles before serving.

Steps:

• For the cornmeal waffles: Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Combine the buttermilk and sour cream in a 2-cup measuring cup. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk mixture, melted butter and eggs. Mix until well combined, then allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat a waffle iron (to medium-high heat if the waffle iron has a heat setting). Grease the waffle iron with cooking spray. Working in batches, add the batter in 1/2 cup increments or the amount recommended by the waffle iron manufacturer and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a platter or plates.
• For the blackberry syrup: Put the blackberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until simmering, about 1 minute. Mash the blackberries with a potato masher until broken down and their juices are released. Cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Stir in the butter and lemon juice and serve warm.
• Serve the waffles with the warm blackberry syrup.
