Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups corn masa flour*
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 large eggs, white and yolk
- 2 large eggs, whites only
- 1/4 cup Gold ‘n Soft spread (regular – not light), or butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup blueberries
- Optional Garnishes: Gold ‘n Soft spread or butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron AND preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine corn masa flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cornstarch, eggs, egg whites, Gold ‘n Soft, vanilla and milk. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined. The mixture will be smooth.
- With a spatula, gently fold the blueberries into the waffle batter.
- Spray the grids of your waffle iron with cooking spray, or brush the grills with tasteless vegetable oil. Cook the waffles according to the directions for your specific waffle iron.
- As you make the waffles, briefly store them in your warm oven. It will crisp them up a bit while evaporating moisture that might cause your waffles to become soggy. This will also keep your waffles warm until you’re done cooking all the waffles and are ready to serve them to your family and eat together.
- Garnish your waffles according to preference. Enjoy!
Notes
*Where to find corn masa flour: Look for it in the Hispanic section of large supermarkets. It can also be purchased at any authentic Mexican market.
Why we use cornstarch: It’s like a sprinkle of magic. It makes waffles of any type, regardless of recipe, light and fluffy while reducing sogginess.
