Here at Delish, cornbread isn't only a side dish: We've incorporated it into casseroles, holiday dressings, and even jalapeño poppers. For an excuse to eat this staple Southern bread at all hours of the day, we amped up our classic waffle recipe by creating our batter with a homemade cornbread mixture. The result is a hearty yet fluffy waffle perfect for slathering with butter and honey, or any toppings your heart desires!

These waffles can go sweet or savory: top them with butter, honey, or syrup for a simple breakfast, or load them up with fried chicken or chili for a hearty brunch or dinner. Topped with ice cream and fruit, these waffles could even be an after-dinner dessert! Truly, whatever your waffle-topping preference, these cornbread waffles are an ideal base—get creative with them!

Ingredients

1 cup
buttermilk
1/2 cup
butter, melted
6 Tbsp.
sugar
2
large eggs
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups
yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 tsp.
baking powder
1 tsp.
baking soda
1/4 tsp.
kosher salt
Cooking spray
1 tsp.
honey
2 Tbsp.
softened butter, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat waffle iron and preheat oven to 200° (to keep waffles warm).
2. Step 2Meanwhile, whisk together buttermilk, butter, sugar and eggs. In a separate large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and soda, and salt. Pour wet mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula until moist.
3. Step 3Spray waffle grates with nonstick cooking spray. With a big ice cream scoop, spoon about 1/4 cup batter into waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per waffle.

5. Step 5Mix together honey and softened butter to spread over warm waffles.
