Cornmeal Waffles

13 Dec Cornmeal Waffles

Thanks to our farmers at Blooming Glen Farm, we now have locally-grown, fresh-ground, organic (non GMO) cornmeal available to us! An heirloom variety of dent corn, “Nothstine”, was grown and harvested on the farm and then ground into cornmeal.  You can use this tasty cornmeal in cornbread or muffin recipes, as a tasty “breading” on your favorite protein, in pancakes, or in these delicious waffles.
