Cornmeal Waffles (or pancakes)
-
Got this recipe out of a Woman's Day magazine (Feb. '93). They are wonderful with chili on top of them. If you don't have a waffle iron, you could make pancakes instead. I just mix everything in a bowl -- seems kinda silly to use a food processor!

1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk or 3/4 cup plain yogurt plus 1/4 cup water
1 large egg
3 tablespoons mild olive or vegetable oil

Put cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a food processor (or large bowl).

Process briefly (or stir) to mix. Add buttermilk, egg and the 3 tablespoons oil. Process briefly (or stir with a wooden spoon), scraping down sides once, just until blended.

Makes 2-1/4 cups batter.

Heat waffle iron. Grease iron. Pour in appropriate amount of batter and spread to edges. Close and cook until iron opens easily.

Spoon chili on waffles. Top with sour cream and chopped cilantro.

Serves 4. Per serving (without chili and sour cream): 270 cal, 7 g pro, 32 g car, 13 g fat, 56 mg chol, 563 mg sod. Exchanges: 1 3/4 starch/bread, 1/4 dairy/skim milk, 2 1/2 fat
