Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.75 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle maker (amount varies depending on the size of your waffle iron), spreading it evenly but not overfilling.
Close the waffle maker and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes or until your waffle maker signals they are ready.
Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and place them on a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy while making the remaining waffles.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, fried chicken, or a dollop of butter.
