Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fine yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or extra melted butter for greasing waffle iron
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
Scoop the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using an appropriate amount based on your waffle maker’s capacity (usually about 1/2 to 2/3 cup). Spread the batter slightly if needed.
Close the waffle iron and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a wire rack to maintain crispiness while you cook the remaining batter. Repeat with the rest of the batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed.
Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or even savory options like fried chicken or avocado.
