It’s Conference Weekend and that means WAFFLES! I grew up in a home where hot Belgian waffles (coated with strawberries and whipped cream) were served on Sunday morning, along with a multitude of other breakfast foods. I have since carried that tradition into my new marriage. I share with you an incredibly delicious waffle recipe from our local Penny Cluse Cafe. (I have heard wonderful things about this cafe. I have yet to frequent the cafe, but I will soon.) This recipe is filled with all things delicious: lemon, cornmeal, and maple syrup. It’s so tasty, this recipe made its debut in The Official Vermont Maple Cookbook. (More maple recipe coming soon…)

Penny Cluse Café Lemon-Cornmeal Waffles

Makes A LOT

A hearty waffle with a nice toothsomeness from the coarse cornmeal. These waffles are especially delicious in June and July when native strawberries are available to put on top with whipped cream.

Mix Dry
2 cups flour
2 cups medium coarse grind cornmeal
2 tbs sugar
2 tbs baking powder
2 tsp salt

Mix Wet
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup Vermont maple syrup
2 tbs lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon

Mix the wet and dry, then add 1 cup of melted butter.
Pour into a lightly coat hot waffle iron and cook until done. A good sign of a thoroughly cooked waffle is when the steam starts to die off. Once the waffle iron is opened (and your waffle is still not done) it’s hard to continue cooking it and have it still be light and fluffy. I halved the recipe and made 4-5 round waffles. Good luck and enjoy this recipe!
