Cornmeal Sourdough Waffles image

Light and crispy, that about says it all. I love cornmeal griddle cakes and have been attempting to adapt them to sourdough waffles. This works quite well. Serve with fresh blueberries, maple syrup or jam. This recipe makes quite a few; however, they freeze well and can be reheated in a toaster oven for a quick weekday breakfast.
