Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2½ cups low-fat buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons (¾ stick) unsalted butter,
- melted and cooled slightly
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup finely chopped candied ginger
- Maple syrup, for serving
Preparation
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, butter, vanilla, zest, and lemon juice to combine. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until some lumps remain. Fold in the candied ginger until evenly distributed.
- Secure the desired waffle plates in the waffle maker. Preheat the waffle maker to the desired setting. The waffle maker will beep to indicate it is ready to use.
- Pour the recommended amount of batter, depending on whether Belgian- or classicstyle waffles are being prepared, onto the center of the bottom waffle plate. Close the waffle maker, but do not lock. The waffle is done when the ready-for-use indicator beeps. Carefully open the waffle maker and remove the baked waffle. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Waffles are best served straight from the waffle maker, with maple syrup, if desired. (If not being consumed immediately, they can be kept warm on a rack in a single layer in a 200°F oven.)
