Recipe: Orange Cornbread Waffles (using soy milk, no eggs)

ORANGE CORNBREAD WAFFLES

"Cornmeal gives these waffles a deliciously buttery flavor and a nice and crunchy texture. They are delicious topped with strawberry sauce or agave nectar and whipped Earth Balance or any vegan margarine."

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup yellow corn flour (not cornstarch)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup orange juice, preferably fresh-squeezed
3/4 cup soymilk
1 tablespoon canola oil

Preheat waffle iron, and mist with nonstick spray, or alternatively, use a pastry brush to lightly coat with oil.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, corn flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix together orange juice, soymilk and canola oil, and add to flour mixture, stirring just until combined.

Scoop batter with a 1/3 cup measure (or smaller, depending on your waffle iron) onto the iron, and cook according to manufacturer's directions. Repeat with remaining batter and serve.

TIP: Remember to spoon your flour into your dry measuring cup, scraping the top with a knife or a skewer. Never scoop your flour directly from the canister, as you can wind up with much more flour than you need.

Makes about 8 Belgian-style waffles
