Make Totally NOT What I Expected!

Not just Waffles, but soft and fluffy waffles with the flavor of fresh corn.....and the Lobster! Quickly and lightly deep fried offering a crispy complimentary bite with the tender sweetness of the lobster meat inside.  The last surprise is the flavor or the buttery but sassy spicy syrup topping all of this deliciousness.  I live and grew up in the South, but never had waffles with anything except syrup, fruit or confectioners sugar.  I am not sure how I missed this flavor trio, but I will never make that mistake again!

Fried Lobster Tails with Sweet Corn Waffles and Spicy Maple Syrup

Ingredients

Waffles

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup fresh corn kernels (from 1 large ear)

1 1/2 cups whole milk

2 cups (about 8 1/2 oz.) all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup (2 oz.) salted butter, melted

2 large eggs

Lobster

6 fresh uncooked lobster tails

Canola oil

1 cup (about 4 oz.) self-rising flour

2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Spicy Maple Syrup

1 cup maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Directions

Prepare the Spicy Syrup

Stir together syrup and crushed red pepper in a medium saucepan, and cook over medium-low, stirring often, until warm, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let steep 30 minutes or overnight.

Prepare the Waffles

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add corn, and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool completely.

Process milk and 1/2 cup cooked corn kernels in a blender until smooth, about 30 seconds. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 220°F. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk together milk-corn mixture, butter, and eggs in a small bowl, and stir into flour mixture with remaining 1/2 cup cooked corn kernels until combined. Cook batter (about 1/2 cup per waffle) in a preheated, lightly greased waffle iron until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Place waffles on a wire rack set on a baking sheet, and keep warm in preheated oven.

Prepare the Lobster

Remove shell completely around lobster tail meat, leaving fins on. Pour canola oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches in a small Dutch oven; heat oil over medium to 325°F. Stir together flour, salt, and both peppers in a medium bowl. Dip lobster tails in beaten eggs; dredge in flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Cook in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. 

Place 1 fried lobster tail on each waffle, and serve with Spicy Maple Syrup.
