Ingredients
Scale
Cornbread Waffle Bites
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- Cooking spray or oil for waffle iron
Honey Butter Syrup
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your mini waffle maker or waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and melted unsalted butter together until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the batter light and tender.
- Cook Waffle Bites: Scoop small amounts of batter, about 1 to 2 tablespoons each, into the preheated waffle maker. Cook until golden brown and crisp on the outside, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Repeat until all batter is used.
- Prepare Honey Butter Syrup: While the waffle bites cook, combine honey, unsalted butter, heavy cream (or milk), and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and warmed through.
- Serve: Serve the warm cornbread waffle bites drizzled generously with the honey butter syrup. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- These waffle bites are perfect as a sweet brunch treat or appetizer.
- For a savory twist, add a sprinkle of crumbled bacon or chopped chives to the batter.
