In September of 2008, Slim and Gabby posted a recipe for waffles in the Recipes by and for teardroppers section. People at a gathering had raved about it and asked him to post it. I went back, looking for it and it is no longer there. Luckily, I printed it then. Here is the abbreviated gist of it:

Slim's "gluten free" waffles

1 cup masa harina (Mexican style finely ground corn meal)
1/2 cup potato-buds; cheap instant mashed potatoes
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1&1/2 cups milk or water*
1 egg

Mix well and let stand for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, check thickness and *add up to 1/2 cup more liquid, according to how thick you want your batter. This can also be used to make flap-jacks.

You will want to coat it well. You might try the "Bakers Joy" spray as a release agent. It is used in cake baking as an anti stick coating.

We DO expect pictures so get the camera ready.

The basic recipe for cornbread from Albers Yellow Cornmeal is pretty good ( old recipe, may not be on newer box printings).....

CORN BREAD

Ingredients

* 1 cup ALBERS'S Yellow or White Corn Meal ( I prefer Yellow)
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/4 cup granulated sugar ( A little more if you want sweeter)
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/4 cups milk
* 1/3 cup vegetable oil
* 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ready In: 25 minutes
Yield: Makes 12 servings

Directions

PREHEAT oven to 400° F. Grease 8-inch-square baking pan (PAM works too).

COMBINE corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Combine milk, vegetable oil and egg in small bowl; mix well. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; stir just until blended. Pour into prepared (greased) baking pan.

BAKE for 20 to 25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm.

NOTE: Recipe may be doubled. Use greased 13 x 9-inch pan; bake as above.

HIGH ALTITUDE (3500 to 6000 feet):
BAKE for 22 to 24 minutes (8-inch-square and 13 x 9-inch baking pan).

Happy munching...

I did this recipe last night and used a gluten-free all purpose flour mix instead of wheat flour. OMG this came out great!! I cooked it in my cute little 8" round CI Wagner skillet. It was great heated up with real butter melted on the top.. yummmmmm.

Thanks!

About corn sticks...I was taught to grease (I use PAM) and pre heat the cast corn stick pan (about 425 deg oven) when you are making them. You want the batter to sizzle when it hits the hot pan. Makes them crisp!

Learned that trick with a waffle iron. Had to
dig the 1st one out of a cool ironwith a bamboo kabob
stick but by pre heating the iron good and hot the batter
sealed up before sticking and they fall out of the iron
when done.

i take a 10 inch cast iron skillet, pour a little cooking oil in the bottom and set it in the oven ( go ahead an turn oven to 400 deg) while i am getting my cornbread batter ready. Take a bowl add martha white self rising corn meal, dash of cooking oil, 2 farm fresh brown eggs, and some mayfield butter milk and stir........kind like a soupy batter myself. Take skillet out to oven add batter and return to oven until golden brown @ 400 deg. take out of oven and add a 1/2 stick of land of lakes butter on top and let it melt in..............now this fine eatin......
