Blue waffles

Yep, blue waffles. No, it's not just the light.

The recipe originally called for two cups of all-purpose flour. I substitued one cup of blue cornmeal for one of the cups of flour. It gave the waffles a nice sweet grittiness, and left them a little blue around the edges. Also it's healthier, with more fiber.

1 3/4 cups buttermilk
2 eggs, separated
4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
a splash of vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
pinch of salt

Whisk the buttermilk with the egg yolks, butter and vanilla. Meanwhile beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Mix the dry ingredients together, then add the buttermilk mixture and combine. Stir in the egg whites and away you go to the waffle machine.

I served these with a little blackberry syrup. Yum.
