Savory Cheddar Chive Waffles These crispy, savory waffles are good to serve with soups or your favorite chili in place of corn muffins. You may also try them with scrambled eggs and bacon for brunch or supper. Makes 8 waffles 2 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal 1 tablespoon granulated sugar ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon kosher salt 13⁄4 cups buttermilk 2 large eggs ½ cup vegetable oil 1 cup shredded, extra-sharp Cheddar 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 1 to 2 dashes hot sauce (optional) 1. Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl; whisk to combine. Add the buttermilk, eggs and oil; whisk until just combined. Stir in the Cheddar, chives and hot sauce, if using. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using. 2. Preheat the Cuisinart® 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker to desired setting. 3. Pour 2 cups of batter onto the center of the lower grid of the preheated waffle maker; spread batter evenly using a heatproof spatula. Close lid of waffle maker. Ready light will go off. When light turns green again, waffles are ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffles. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately. Blueberry Maple Syrup A great change-up from regular maple syrup - the color adds a bright addition to any breakfast plate. Makes about 2 cups (1½ cups if strained) 1 cup pure maple syrup 1½ cups fresh blueberries Pinch kosher salt Pinch orange zest (optional) 1. Put all ingredients in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to maintain a strong simmer to allow the mixture to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. 2. Strain, if desired, and serve.
