Waffles

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cups of soy milk
• 1 and 1/2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 and 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry (not bread) flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 3 Tbsp. oil plus spray for waffle iron
• 2 Tbsp. maple syrup

Optional

Add 2 Tbsp. of shelled, unsalted sunflower seeds to the batter.

Directions

1. In a 2-cup liquid measure, combine the soymilk and lemon juice. Set aside. (The mixture will curdle.)
2. Set a large strainer or sifter over a bowl. Measure in the flour, cornmeal, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir or sift the dry ingredients into the bowl.
3. Combine ingredients. The batter should be medium-thick, but still pourable; if it's too runny, stir in a Tbsp. or 2 more flour. Alternately, if the batter becomes very thick as it stands, stir in a Tbsp. or 2 of soymilk.
4. When the waffle iron is ready, brush the top and bottom with oil or mist with pan spray. Pour a generous 1/2 cup of batter over the surface.
5. Bake according to manufacturer's directions until crisp. Serve immediately or transfer to a cooling rack and keep warm in the oven while you are preparing the remaining waffles.
