Description
First served at one of Washington, D.C.'s famed hotels, this waffle recipe earns its name: They're crisp and golden on the outside with a soft, light, airy interior — perfect for soaking up maple syrup. A touch of vegetable oil helps them stay crisp even as they cool. Buttermilk adds a slight tang to balance the sweetness of the syrup we inevitably pour over the hot stack, while yellow cornmeal lends a subtle golden hue and a delicate, pleasantly unexpected crunch in the waffles. (In a pinch, you can substitute cornstarch; the waffles will still be tender.)
