Ingredients
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup melted butter (plus more for greasing)
Instructions
1. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease with butter or oil.
2. In a large bowl, whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, then add buttermilk and melted butter.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Don’t overmix; lumps are fine.
5. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.
6. Scoop batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden and crisp.
7. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
Notes
Letting the batter rest ensures lighter, fluffier waffles.
Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing.
Store leftovers in the fridge, and reheat in a toaster or skillet to regain crispiness.
