    1/2 teaspoon salt

    Recipe



    To prepare the waffles: Prick sweet potato with a fork and microwave on high until soft. Cut in half and scoop onto a plate. Mash until smooth, measure 1 cup and let cool.* Combine flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg yolks, milk, butter, and sweet potato until blended. Beat egg whites on medium -high speed until stiff but not dry. Add sweet potato mixture to dry ingredients; stir just until moistened; fold in the egg whites. Heat a waffle iron. Add 1/2 cup batter and cook according to manufacturer's directions. Serve hot with Cranberry Syrup and Hazelnut Butter.

    To prepare Cranberry Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, water and sugar and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-high and boil 10 minutes. Puree in a food processor until smooth and strain through a sieve into a small bowl, then stir in the maple syrup.

    To make Hazelnut Butter: Stir butter until fluffy then add the nuts, honey and spice.

    Makes 8 servings: eight 6" waffles, 1 3/4 cups syrup and 3/4 cup butter.

    *NOTE: To save time (and dishes) I cook and measure the sweet potato and prepare the Cranberry Syrup and Hazelnut Butter the night before. I just whip up the waffles in the morning and by using the waffle iron, the oven's free to cook the turkey.
