Crispy Cornmeal Waffles
Cornmeal works magic in waffles: It sweetens and lends whatever it's blended with a warm, golden glow. It also delivers the kind of crisp and crunch that won't wilt under fire. This batter, sweetened with maple syrup and tenderized with buttermilk, is wonderful made with coarse-grained, stone-ground cornmeal. Serious lovers of crisp should try making these in a waffle iron with shallow grids. Top the waffles with fresh orange segments, a simple mixture of sweetened oranges moistened with their own juice. Prepare them before you start the waffles and set aside or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Good Brunch recipe
November 11, 2012
When it comes to Sunday brunch, waffles are a must at our house. I chose this recipe because it uses less butter than most, and the addition of cornmeal at a 1-1 ratio with flour sounded interesting.
Couple of things:
The waffles turned out decent; I did enjoy the cornmeal but will recommend that you make sure not to use course ground. The gritty texture was just a little off-putting. I'd also recommend throwing in a tablespoon or so of sugar. Because I'm not a huge fan of drenching my waffles in syrup (they get soggy!), I do like my waffles to have a little more flavor on their own.

Pros: Yield, Quick, Easy, Kid-Friendly, Will Make Again

Where is the Crispiness?
March 18, 2011
I made these to go with the "maple glazed bananas". The batter was unusually runny (which makes sense since the dry & wet ingredients are the same proportions) and they didn't turn out particularly crispy. I don't know if my cornmeal was stone-ground, as is recommended, but if that's enough of a deviation to ruin the recipe then it's too fussy for me.

Best Waffles Ever
August 16, 2010
This recipe has become the standard in my kitchen. I leave out the orange segments as the waffles are good enough to stand on their own. Wonderful texture, cripsy exterior (especially if held in a warm oven for a few minutes), & delicious flavor! I serve them w/ a drizzle of warm maple syrup (no additional butter required) and a side of locally produced thick cut black pepper bacon.
