Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups low-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 vegetable oil spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then add the melted butter, low-fat milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should have some small lumps.

Step 5

Use a vegetable oil spray to lightly coat the waffle iron plates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (this amount may vary depending on your waffle iron model) and spread it evenly over the surface.

Step 7

Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles for about 5-7 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp when the steam stops escaping from the sides.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffles using non-abrasive tools to avoid scratching the waffle iron, and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve hot with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, syrup, or yogurt.
