🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until combined.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

4. Gently fold in the corn kernels, being careful not to overwork the batter.

5. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease if needed.

6. Scoop about 1/2 cup of batter onto the waffle iron (adjust depending on your waffle iron size). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.

7. While the waffles are cooking, prepare the cilantro lime butter. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, chopped cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, and honey until well combined.

8. Serve the warm waffles topped with a generous dollop of cilantro lime butter. Optionally garnish with more chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of lime zest.
