Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1.5 cups Non-dairy milk (or low sodium regular milk)
• 1 Large egg
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Frozen corn kernels, thawed
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
• None Cooking spray or additional melted unsalted butter, for waffle iron

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and ground black pepper. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, egg, and melted unsalted butter. Ensure the butter is cool enough to avoid cooking the egg.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.

Step 5

Fold in the thawed corn kernels and chopped chives until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or additional melted unsalted butter.

Step 7

Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, typically about 5 minutes, depending on your waffle maker.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffles with a silicone spatula and keep them warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the waffles hot, optionally topped with additional chives, corn kernels, or a dollop of unsalted butter.
