Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until completely mixed.

Step 4

Add the melted butter to the buttermilk and egg mixture, whisking continuously.

Step 5

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; small lumps are fine.

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

Step 8

Pour the recommended amount of batter (usually about 1/2 cup) onto the center of the waffle iron.

Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. The cook time may vary based on your waffle iron.

Step 10

Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 11

Serve warm with desired toppings such as sour cream, butter, or syrup.
