Kris, U-Bake La Crosse


Adapted slightly from Gourmet

Yield: About 16 waffles

1 cup sifted U-Bake all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
1 cup U-Bake yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons U-Bake baking powder
1 teaspoon U-Bake baking soda
1/4 teaspoon U-Bake salt
3 large eggs
2 cups well-shaken buttermilk
6 tablespoons vegetable oil plus additional oil for brushing waffle iron

Accompaniment: pure maple syrup from....U-Bake!

Into a large bowl sift together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Repeat sifting 2 more times.

In another large bowl whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and oil. Add flour mixture all at once and whisk just until combined.

Preheat a waffle iron and preheat oven to 200 °F.

Brush waffle iron lightly with additional oil. Spoon batter into waffle iron, using 1/4 cup batter for each 4-inch-square standard waffle and spreading batter evenly, and cook according to manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer waffle to a baking sheet and keep warm, uncovered, in middle of oven. Make more waffles with remaining batter in same manner, brushing waffle iron with more oil before adding each batch.
