Sunday Morning Cornmeal & Berry Waffles
"Presented here is a good old fashioned but yet modern waffle that combines cornmeal and all-purpose flour that is filled with blackberries or boysenberries, though other berries of choice can be used depending on what's in season. I would imagine that frozen berries could be substituted, except that they will contain more moisture, therefore be careful and roll them in flour, prior to adding them to the batter."
