Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal (yellow or white)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 optional Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can lead to dense waffles. The batter will be slightly thick.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly coat the waffle plates with non-stick cooking spray if needed.
Spoon or pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (amount will vary depending on waffle iron size), spreading it evenly to ensure it fills the plates.
Close the lid and cook the waffle according to your waffle iron’s instructions, typically about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffle with tongs or a fork, and place it on a wire rack to prevent sogginess while finishing the remaining waffles.
Repeat with the remaining batter, reheating and spraying the waffle iron as needed.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or even a savory option like fried chicken or sautéed vegetables.
