Hello and Happy SuperBowl Sunday! We don't particularly care so much about football as we do the trashy American foodstuffs that normally comes out en masse during one of the most American of American days.
Who is playing, anyhoo?
A co-worker of mine has been working on downsizing her belongings. Much to my delight, I found out that she's one of those "kitchen gadget hoarders" who is trying to reform. Therefore, I was able to score some items that I wouldn't normally spend money on because I know they will go to the back of the kitchen cupboard reserved for the graveyard of pots, pans, and random blenders that don't quite blend right. The most coveted item out of the pay load was a Belgian Waffle Maker, lightly used, and perfect for a table for two!
I've been tempted for awhile now to purchase a waffle iron, however, I was not really convinced we would ever use one. We're not really tempted by sweets, but I have seen some savoury recipes floating around Pinterest lately that sound intriguing.
This morning I decided to take the plunge and make something "waffley." None of the recipes I could find sounded all that great, so I took the plunge and basically threw a bunch of random ingredients into a bowl and stirred. The end result turned out crispy and delicious!
Ingredients
1 cup Masa Flour
2 cups Water
1t Baking Powder
1T Sea Salt
1T Ground Black Pepper
1 Flax Egg (1T ground flax, 3T water)
2T Olive Oil
2 Fresh Jalapeños, chopped
6 Cloves Garlic, chopped
Mix, chuck in waffle iron. Let it cook in waffle iron until brown and crispy. My waffle iron took about 15 minutes per waffle to cook this nosh all the way through. I chose to garnish mine with some good, old fashioned Canadian Maple Syrup. The mixture of sweet, salty, garlicky and spicy surprisingly did it for me.
Behold, the magical Jalapeño Cornbread Waffles!
