Description

Deliciously savory waffles with a kick of jalapeño and sharp cheddar cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions and lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat milk, melted butter, and eggs until frothy.
  4. Stir in chopped jalapeños and corn into the wet mixture.
  5. Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients while gently folding until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese last for even distribution.
  7. Ladle about ¾ cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown (approximately 5 minutes).
  8. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes
