These Cornbread Waffles are a delightful twist on classic waffles, combining the hearty texture of cornmeal with the fluffy lightness of traditional waffle batter. Perfect for breakfast or as a base for chicken and waffle sliders, these waffles bring a slightly sweet and savory flavor, complemented by honey and buttermilk for moisture and richness.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cornmeal
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 Tbsp. Sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. Honey
  • 1 1/2 cups Buttermilk
  • 4 Tbsp. Butter, melted
  • 1 Egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to heat fully. If your waffle iron tends to stick, spray it lightly with cooking spray to ensure easy removal of waffles.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, buttermilk, melted butter, and the egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly mixed.
  4. Make the batter: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep waffles tender.
  5. Cook waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 4-6 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
  6. Assemble sliders: For chicken and waffle sliders, layer the freshly made cornbread waffles with crispy fried chicken and cheddar cheese to create a savory-sweet bite perfect for any meal.

Notes

  • Use buttermilk for a tangy flavor and tender texture, but regular milk can be a substitute with a teaspoon of vinegar added.
  • Adjust the cooking time depending on your waffle iron to avoid undercooked or burnt waffles.
  • These waffles can be kept warm in a low oven if making a large batch.
  • To keep waffles crispy, place them on a wire rack rather than stacking.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and buttermilk with almond milk mixed with lemon juice.
