Steps:

• Put the cornmeal in a saucepan and pour the boiling water over it. Stir in the salt and shortening. Set the saucepan in a basin of simmering water and cover. Let cook, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Beat the egg yolks and add them to the cornmeal mixture, stirring.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Blend the milk with the buttermilk and alternately add this and the flour mixture to the cornmeal mixture. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the mixture. There should be about four and one-half cups.
• Add the mixture, an appropriate amount at a time, to the surface of an electric waffle iron. The volume will depend on the size of the iron. Cover and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

CORNMEAL WAFFLES

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients, plus a pinch of salt, in a bowl; set aside. Mix egg yolks with buttermilk and oil. Incorporate yolk mixture into dry ingredients. Whip egg whites to medium peaks with whisk or hand mixer and fold into batter in 3 stages to incorporate fully (and to make fluffier waffles). Ladle 1/4 batter onto a nonstick waffle iron until griddle is covered but not overflowing (waffle iron sizes vary; adjust if necessary). Cook waffles until golden, 3 to 4 minutes; keep warm in oven. Repeat 3 times. Optional sauce: Bring honey and lavender to a simmer in a small pot. Take off heat, cover and let steep 30 minutes. Strain honey into a jar and discard lavender.
