Blueberry Waffles: A Great Way to Start the Day

Waffles have always been a special occasion breakfast around my house, something that we'd actually only get when we were visiting one of our favorite local diners.

Don't get me wrong: I adore waffles, even more than homemade pancakes. But after a few failed attempts at making waffles with a bargain-priced iron, we sort of forgot about this meal for a few years.

Then this Christmas I received a glorious double Belgian waffle maker, and now my breakfast-y thoughts are filled with waffles. I have at least 10 waffle ideas percolating in the back of my brain, just waiting for another weekend to try them out.

This recipe is currently my favorite. Filled with plenty of juicy blueberries and given heft by cornmeal and whole wheat flour, they're a great way to start the day. The batter does require a little bit of resting time, so plan ahead.
