SNOW FLURRY BELGIAN WAFFLES W/ MAPLE NUT SCHMEAR

Steps:

• Directions: 1. Bloom the spices in butter**: Heat 4 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium heat until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Continue to cook, swirling pan constantly, until butter is light brown and has faint nutty aroma, 2 to 4 minutes. Add spices and continue to cook, stirring constantly, 15 seconds. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. 2. Combine the flour, salt, sugar, baking soda. 3. Mix together the buttermilk (or buttermilk substitute) and the egg yolks. Stir in the spiced butter and vanilla. Spray the waffle iron well and preheat it. Stir the wet into the dry ingredients. 4. Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl with a whisk or electric mixer (make sure bowl and mixer are spotlessly clean) until they hold soft peaks. Stir them gently into the batter. Add carrots, walnuts, and raisins. Stir gently to combine. 5. Spread a ladleful or so of batter onto the waffle iron and bake until the waffle is done, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron. Spray iron with cooking spray between waffles as needed. 6. To make Maple Cream Cheese spread, simply combine nuts, syrup, and cream cheese and mix well. Serve waffles immediately with a schmear of Maple Cream Cheese spread (which will get lovely and melty), or keep them warm for a few minutes in a low oven.*** Notes: * The buttermilk can be substituted with 1 1/4 cups of milk at room temperature, mixed with two tablespoons white vinegar, left to clabber for 10 minutes. **If you prefer a quicker breakfast, you can melt and cool the butter plain instead of browning it and blooming the spices in it - but doing so does add flavor. If you do skip the spice blooming, simply add the spices to the dry ingredients in step 2. Add your plain melted, cooled butter instead of the spiced butter in step 3.

CORNBREAD WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle maker to medium high heat; grease it if necessary.
• In a small bowl, mix the mascarpone with 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup, then set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the masa harina, cornmeal, oat flour, baking powder and kosher salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and maple syrup. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Let sit undisturbed for 7 minutes. After sitting, the batter becomes very thick and unpourable.
• Scoop half of the batter onto the heated waffle maker and gently spread it into an even with a spatula. Cook until golden brown. (The resulting waffle will be golden brown and soft, but it will firm up a bit as it cools. If the waffle maker is too hot, this may prevent the inside from cooking fully).
• Serve immediately with maple mascarpone. To store leftovers, let cool fully and freeze in an airtight plastic bag; reheat in a toaster or oven. (This recipe makes 2 large waffles or 4 small; if you scale it up, place the cooked waffles in a 300F oven to keep warm while cooking the remaining waffles.)

FLUFFY BELGIAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Spray a Belgian waffle iron with cooking spray and preheat according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Beat eggs with a whisk until fluffy. Beating slightly after each ingredient, first add milk, then oil, sugar, salt, baking powder, all-purpose flour, and finally whole wheat flour; do not overbeat.
• Pour 3/4 cup batter into the center of the hot waffle iron, spreading with a metal knife if necessary. Close the iron and bake until it stops steaming, 2 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron. Carefully remove cooked waffle with a fork and repeat with remaining batter.
