Blue Corn Waffles (4 servings) 1 and 1/2 cups blue corn meal (as used for tortillas) 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 Tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 and 1/2 cups buttermilk 2 large eggs - separated 6 Tablespoons melted butter or margarine maple syrup - for topping In a bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. In another bowl, mix butter with egg yolks and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Pour liquids into dry mixture, stirring to moisten well. Whip egg whites until they hold stiff peaks; fold into batter. Bake in a waffle iron set on medium high heat or in an electric one set at medium high (375 degrees). Brush grids with melted butter; half fill with batter,spreading slightly. Close iron; bake until waffle is golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Serve hot with butter and syrup. You won't feel blue as you eat these faintly blue-tinted waffles. The color comes from blue cornmeal - the same ingredient used to make festive tortillas. Mr Breakfast would like to thank malysa76 for this recipe. Recipe number 584. Submitted 9/14/2002.
