Cornmeal Waffles





For this month's Secret Recipe Club assignment I had a very different experience. I was assigned Emily's blog Life on Food
Usually when I work on my assignments, I have a tough time trying to decide which recipe I should choose. However this month I didn't have to go too far. When I saw Emily's Cornmeal Waffles I immediately knew this was the one I wanted to try.
Waffle variations are a favourite with my kids so when I saw cornmeal and waffles I simply went for it. I did tweak up the recipe a it to give it a healthy twist.

Cornmeal Waffles

Ingredients
1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup fine cornmeal
Jaggery to sweeten
1tbs desiccated coconut
1 tsp baking powder
1cup yoghurt
1 cup milk
3 large eggs separated
Preparation
  • Whisk together all the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl mix wet ingredients except the egg whites.
  • Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  • Whisk the whites in a  blender to stiff peaks.
  • Fold into the batter to get the right consistency.
  • Ladle onto the waffle iron and cook till golden and crisp.

  1. That's the perfect looking waffle. I keep promising myself to get a waffle iron one day, but I'm concerned that might be a bit hazardous for my waistline :-)

  3. These sound intriguing. However, what is desiccated coconut? I'm allergic to coconut so what would be a good substitution?

  7. Oh I'm totally making these. I love anything cornbread, and love the addition of the coconut. I did the same thing with my SRC post this month with cornbread filled jalapeno poppers. I used coconut oil, and it was just the right amount of coconut. Stumbling and pinning this one!

  8. I bet these would be great for breakfast topped with fruit, or for dinner topped with chili or something! How versatile! Awesome pick this month :)
