• 2 ears of corn, husked, kernels grated on the large holes of a box grater (about 240 g)

How to make Corn waffles with strawberry syrup

1. Preheat the oven to 90°C (fan) / 100°C (conventional). Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking tray and place it in the oven.

2. Bring agave syrup to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, watching carefully to prevent it from boiling over. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in half of the strawberries and a pinch of salt. Set aside to cool until ready to serve. Reserve the remaining strawberries separately for serving.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt until well combined.

4. In a large bowl, whisk together the grated corn, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and 125 g of melted butter until smooth.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently with a rubber spatula until just incorporated, taking care not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.

6. Heat the waffle iron until very hot and brush with a little melted butter. Working in batches, pour enough batter onto the iron to cover the entire surface (the amount needed may vary depending on your appliance).

7. Cook the waffles for 5–7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked waffles to the wire rack in the oven to keep warm as you continue with the remaining batter.

8. Serve the waffles with room-temperature butter, the strawberry-agave syrup, and the reserved fresh strawberries.
