There’s something truly special about a leisurely weekend morning spent indulging in a delicious breakfast, and these Cornmeal Blueberry Waffles are the perfect way to elevate your brunch game. Combining the comforting texture of cornmeal with the burst of sweet blueberries, these waffles are a delightful treat that will leave your taste buds singing.
To start off, gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process. You’ll need 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of cornmeal, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 1/2 cups of milk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1 cup of fresh blueberries.
Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will ensure that your waffles cook evenly and come out golden and crispy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This dry mix will form the base of your waffle batter, providing the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
Next, in a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk the wet ingredients together until well blended. This mixture will add richness and moisture to your waffles, making them light and fluffy.
Now, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together. Be careful not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing can result in tough waffles, and we want ours to be tender and delicious.
Once the batter is just combined, gently fold in the fresh blueberries. The blueberries will add a burst of sweetness and juiciness to each bite, making every waffle a delightful experience.
Now, it’s time to cook your waffles. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a bit of melted butter to prevent sticking. Spoon the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it out evenly. Close the lid and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer’s instructions until they are golden brown and crisp.
As each waffle finishes cooking, carefully remove it from the waffle iron and place it on a wire rack to cool slightly. This will help the waffles maintain their crispness while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
Serve your Cornmeal Blueberry Waffles warm, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkling of powdered sugar. The combination of the slightly crunchy cornmeal, juicy blueberries, and sweet syrup is a match made in breakfast heaven.
These waffles are perfect for a lazy Sunday morning with family, a special occasion brunch with friends, or just a cozy breakfast for one. They are sure to become a favorite in your breakfast rotation, bringing a touch of homemade goodness to your table.
So, go ahead and treat yourself to a batch of these delightful Cornmeal Blueberry Waffles. Your taste buds will thank you, and your home will be filled with the irresistible aroma of freshly cooked waffles. Enjoy!
