Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- as needed Cooking spray (for waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and honey (if using) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender waffles.
Scoop the batter (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on your waffle iron's size) onto the preheated waffle iron and close the lid.
Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. The time may vary depending on your waffle iron, so follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Carefully remove the waffle and keep warm by placing it on a baking rack in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with your choice of toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fried chicken, or a drizzle of hot honey.
