Tips, where the recipe can go wrong
We all love crispy waffles. The biggest advice I can give is make sure your waffles iron is hot as can be. Also, eat them quickly because after you sit them on a plate they will loose their crispiness with time like anything else. I enjoy my cornbread waffles with butter and a light drizzling of honey.
Making the cornbread waffles recipe
- To start, preheat the waffle iron.
- Now, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar together. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs the gradually add in the butter then milk until smooth. Combine the dry and wet ingredients.
- Spray the waffle iron with a little cooking spray then pour the waffle batter. Cook until golden brown and crispy. Tip, allow the waffle iron to reheat between waffles for the best results.
- When waffles are done, serve them quickly or put on an oven safe wire rack. If you place them on a plate or stack them they will be soft by the time you try to serve them.
