These were really good. A little more involved than "regular" one bowl waffles and it makes A LOT. I served them with chicken & gravy that I made from a rotisserie chicken (Amish PA Dutch style). The corn flavor really came through. I accidentally forgot to cook the "mush" in a double boiler and ended up adding 2T of oil at the end (forgot to put the shortening in too, I was on a roll); they still turned out great. These are a nice savory alternative and accompanied well with the chicken & gravy waffles we have for dinner once in a while. Thanks for sharing!

Holy cow I love anything with cornmeal! These were definitely no exception. I divided this recipe in 6ths and still ended up with more than three waffles. As Paula said, the mush cooked incredibly fast, in fact no more than a couple of minutes. The color of the waffles is beautiful with a taste to match. Thanks, Molly!

These were made for Christmas Eve brunch. They are crispy on the outside with a nice chewy texture inside. The mush was cooked in less than the 10 minutes mentioned in the recipe. The mush was quick cooled by placing in an ice bath for a few minutes. Also, the ingredients list has butter but the directions only mention shortening. I used the shortening. I made only half a recipe on my Belgian waffle maker with a yield of 8 delicious waffles. The waffles were garnished with frozen strawberries and warm maple syrup.
