Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup canned diced green chilies, drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 as needed vegetable oil or non-stick spray (for waffle iron)
- 1 as desired sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 1 as desired salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, cumin, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the cheddar cheese, diced green chilies, and chopped cilantro until evenly distributed in the batter.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with vegetable oil or non-stick spray.
Spoon an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (refer to your iron's instructions for the correct amount). Spread it evenly, if needed.
Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes (cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron).
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve warm with optional toppings like sour cream and salsa for an extra Tex Mex flair.
