Corn Waffles With Maple Strawberry Butter Recipes

BUTTERMILK CORN WAFFLE WITH BERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• For the berry syrup: Combine 1/2 cup blackberries, 1/2 cup blueberries and the syrup in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries begin to pop and the syrup reduces slightly, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining berries. Cover and keep warm.
• For the waffle batter: Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high if there are settings (but it's ok if there aren't any). Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and corn kernels in a large bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, vanilla, eggs and butter in another bowl. Fold the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's ok if there are lumps).
• Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter, then fill each section about three-quarters of the way full (there should still be some waffle iron showing). Close and cook until the waffles are golden brown and slightly crisp, 6 to 10 minutes. Keep waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you repeat with the remaining batter.
• Drizzle each waffle with berry syrup.

CORN WAFFLES WITH STRAWBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and place in oven. Bring agave to a boil over medium-low heat (keep an eye on it; you don't want it to boil over). Immediately remove from heat and stir in half the strawberries and a pinch of salt; let sit until ready to serve. Save remaining berries separately for serving also.
• Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl to combine. Whisk grated corn, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and 1/2 cup melted butter in a large bowl to combine. Add dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just incorporated (don't worry about any small lumps).
• Heat waffle iron until very hot; brush with butter. Working in batches and brushing iron with more butter as needed, pour batter onto iron (it should cover the entire surface; amount of batter needed will vary according to manufacturer). Cook waffles until golden brown and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to wire rack in oven as you go.
• Serve waffles with room-temperature butter, strawberry-agave syrup, and reserved fresh strawberries.
