Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Fine ground cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups Whole milk
  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1/2 cup Softened Butter

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Ensuring these ingredients are well combined before adding the wet ingredients helps prevent lumps and ensures even baking.

Whisk Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract and honey. Make sure the butter is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the eggs.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix! A few lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour and result in tough waffles.

Honey Butter Preparation

In a bowl beat the softened butter with honey with a mixer. This will be a delicous add on.

Cook the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Grease the waffle iron lightly with cooking spray or melted butter. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's directions, until golden brown and crispy. Typically, this takes about 3-5 minutes per waffle.

Serve Immediately

Serve the waffles immediately with a generous dollop of honey butter. You can also add fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of milk?

    Yes, you can substitute whole milk with almond milk, soy milk, or any other type of milk you prefer.
  • Can I add more sugar?

    You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, but keep in mind that the cornmeal already provides a subtle sweetness. Adding too much sugar might make the waffles overly sweet.
  • Can I make these waffles ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make the waffles ahead of time. Let them cool completely and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat them in a toaster or oven until warm and crispy.
