Step 1

Plug in your waffle iron, and get it heating (I have found that the deep wells of a Belgian-style waffle maker work great for this recipe).

Step 2

In a large bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry mixture, and add the buttermilk, eggs, and oil. Whisk to combine well.

Step 4

Cook the batter according to the manufacture’s directions of your waffle iron.

Step 5

Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 6

When one waffle is done, let it rest on a wire wrack, taking care not to stack the waffles (the steam they produce makes them soggy if you stack them on a plate).

Step 7

Serve hot with your favorite chili and cheese, pulled pork with coleslaw and beans, or taco toppings on top. It also makes a great option to go with a bowl of chili for a fun change. You can serve them as sweet waffles, too, and they are great with honey butter on top.
