Cornmeal Waffles with Strawberry & Cranberry Fruit Compote are a great way to start the day. And since our low sugar, tender, and moist cornmeal waffles can easily be stored in the freezer and be reheated in a toaster, it’s always a great idea to double the batch. You can serve these waffles with any topping, but we suggest our strawberry and cranberry compote. It's so versatile and quick to prepare, plus it makes for a dynamite peanut butter jelly sandwich!

Extra Fine Granulated Pure Cane Sugar Bag

Ingredients

Waffles

1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons oil or melted butter

Strawberry & Cranberry Fruit Compote

2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/3 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Directions

If serving with strawberry & cranberry fruit compote, prepare it before the waffles. Place sliced strawberries and fresh/frozen cranberries along with sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 4-5 minutes. The compote is deliciously tart, but additional sugar can be added if desired.
Preheat waffle iron to slightly below highest heat setting.
In a bowl large enough to hold all ingredients whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
In another bowl whisk together sugar, salt, buttermilk, eggs, and oil/melted butter. Once well combined pour into dry ingredients and whisk briefly until just combined.
If using a Teflon waffle iron, using baking spray will not be necessary to prevent the waffles from sticking. Using a ladle pour into waffle iron and cook until golden, about 3 minutes.
