# What You'll Need:
01 -
1 cup cornmeal
02 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
03 -
2 teaspoons baking powder
04 -
1 teaspoon baking soda
05 -
1 teaspoon salt
06 -
1 cup buttermilk
07 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
08 -
2 large eggs
09 -
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
10 -
1/3 cup pickled jalapeños, chopped
11 -
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
12 -
Cooking spray or additional melted butter for the waffle iron
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
03 -
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and honey (if using) until smooth.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped pickled jalapeños.
05 -
Pour about 1/2 to 2/3 cup of batter (depending on your waffle iron) onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to the machine's instructions until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes.
06 -
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve hot. They’re delicious on their own, or you can top them with butter, additional cheese, sour cream, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
