Cornmeal adds a surprising crunch to a basic waffle recipe.

Ingredients

Peach Sauce

2 cups Frozen sliced peaches

1 1/2 cups Peach nectar

3/4 cup Orange juice

1/4 cup Sugar

Cornmeal Waffles

3/4 cup All-purpose flour

1/2 cup Yellow cornmeal

3 tbs Sugar

1 tsp Baking powder

1/2 tsp Baking soda

1/4 tsp Salt

1 1/4 cups Low-fat buttermilk

1 Large egg, beaten

3 tbs Vegetable oil, divided

1 tbs Grated orange zest

Preparation

Peach Sauce

Combine all ingredients in medium saucepan, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, or until peaches are very tender and sauce is syrupy. Break up peaches with a spoon to make sauce chunky. Transfer to bowl.

Cornmeal Waffles

Preheat waffle iron to medium high. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Stir in buttermilk, egg, 2 tbs oil and orange zest.

Brush waffle iron with remaining oil. Spoon batter onto waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions. Cook 6 minutes, or until waffle is crisp. Repeat with remaining batter. Spoon Peach Sauce over waffles, and serve.

These are really good. The cornmeal does give a nice crunchy attitude but isn't overwhelmingly "corny". I substituted the zest from one tangerine in the batter. For the syrup I used frozen peaches and raspberries, the juice from the tangerine, and 1T. sugar microwaved for about 1 minute. I topped them with lite whipped cream. YUM! My husband ate them with regular syrup and butter & also really liked them.
