Sweet Potato Cornmeal
Waffles
There
are many things I love in life. I’m not
going to list them all, because I would undoubtedly leave out something
important. However, the list would certainly include my friends and family,
froyo, Barcelona, baking, the color pink, Nutella, London, shopping, Which Wich,
and last but not least, waffles. This post will focus on my love of waffles. I
think this loves springs from my love of Waffle House, an ever-classy
establishment that you may have heard of. Founded and headquartered in my home state
of Georgia, Waffle House is close to my heart. When I am at home, Waffle House
is nearly always available to me, as there are approximately two on every exit
in the wonderful city of Atlanta. And they are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year. Ahhh I could just go on forever. I really love Waffle House.
Anyway, when I am in Nashville, which has recently
been always, I do not get Waffle House nearly as much as I would
like, since they are a bit more sparsely located here. So, I decided to
take matters into my own hands. This summer, when I was moving into my
apartment, I had my mom bring my beloved waffle maker from home. Naturally, I was quite
excited by the possibility of having waffles literally whenever I wanted. At
the height of my waffle obsession, which coincided with the height of my sweet
potato obsession, I decided to turn my sweet potato cornbread recipe (posted in
March) into a waffle recipe. These waffles were delicious the first time I made
them, but I have now made them several times and have finally perfected the
recipe. Excuse my modesty, but these are probably the most delicious waffles
you will ever taste.
