Breakfast for Dinner: A Winner

I know that our household was really blessed by the fact that we did not have fussy eaters. I take no credit in this... it just happened. This was good for me, as I love to cook, and the family loved trying new recipes. The best rave reviews came when we had breakfast for dinner. We did this once a week, preferring a hot meal meant Cap'n Crunch did not make the menu.



Waffles are wonderful. There are countless varieties and on top of that... countless toppings! Here is a favorite this is crisp crusted, feather light and are exceptionally good.



Cornmeal Waffles


1 1/2 c. white cornmeal
1/4 c flour
1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1 T sugar
2 eggs, beaten,
2 c. buttermilk
1/2 c shortening


Put cornmeal in mixing bowl. Add flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and sugar. Stir to blend.

Combine eggs and buttermilk; gradually add to cornmeal mixture, stirring with a spoon until smooth. Add shortening and stir again.

Pour enough batter on preheated waffle grid to spread to about 1" from edges. Close iron.
