We love the contrast of crunchy cornmeal, tart berries, and smooth lavender cream in these waffles, a version of the ones on the ever-changing brunch menu at the Lark Creek Inn in Larkspur, CA. Prep and Cook Time: 40 minutes. Ingredients:
3/4 cup blue or yellow cornmeal |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons sugar |
2 large eggs |
1 cup buttermilk |
3 tablespoons melted butter |
blueberries |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk in the eggs and buttermilk until well blended, then stir in the butter.
2. Cook in a waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions. Serve hot with lavender cream (recipe follows) and fresh blueberries.
3. Lavender cream. Cook 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream and a scant 1/4 teaspoon dried culinary lavender in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Cool completely, then strain. Stir in another 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 tablespoon sugar, then whip to soft peaks. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
