Ingredients

Scale

Waffle Batter

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 large eggs

Toppings

  • Your favorite chili (prepared)
  • Optional: shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: sour cream
  • Optional: chopped green onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle iron to heat it up while you prepare the batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt to create a uniform mixture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, oil, and crack in the eggs. Stir gently until the batter is smooth, taking care not to overmix as this can toughen the waffles.
  4. Cook Waffles: Spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the hot iron and cook in batches until waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve: Plate the waffles and ladle warm chili on top. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure your waffle iron is fully heated before cooking.
  • Adjust chili spiciness according to preference.
  • These waffles freeze well – reheat in a toaster or oven for a quick meal.
  • Substitute milk with plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Use a sturdy chili to prevent soggy waffles.
