Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 non-stick cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 5

Lightly grease your preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a brush of melted butter.

Step 6

Ladle the batter onto the center of the waffle iron (the amount depends on your waffle iron's size; usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup) and close the lid.

Step 7

Cook the waffles according to the waffle iron's instructions, typically 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to a wire rack to keep it crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm with your choice of toppings such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or even savory options like fried chicken or eggs.
