Mini Cornbread Waffles with Cranberry sauce and Bacon

 Source for cornbread waffles

Prepare mini waffles using recipe below.  Top with your favorite cranberry sauce and a small piece of prepared thick-cut bacon (maple glazed if desired). 

Ingredients

3/4 cup (100 grams) coarse yellow cornmeal

3/4 cup (100 grams) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon (15 ml) molasses

1 cup (235 ml) buttermilk, well-shaken

4 tablespoons (55 grams) melted unsalted butter

1 large egg

Method

Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the bottom of a medium bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk molasses, butter, buttermilk and egg until combined. Pour into dry ingredients and stir to combine. Let batter rest for 10 minutes. Heat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions; I found a medium heat just fine here.

Brush waffle iron with melted butter or coat with nonstick spray. Drop 1 tablespoon puddles of batter onto iron (several at a time).  Cook until lightly browned.
