Ingredients

1 ¼ cups flour or a gluten free 1-to-1 blend
½ cup cornmeal medium grind
¼ cup cornstarch
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 ¼ tsp. salt to taste
¼ tsp. black pepper
2 eggs
1 ½ cups buttermilk regular milk or a plant-based milk
¼ cup butter melted and cooled
¾ cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

Turn on waffle iron and allow it to heat up for at least 5 minutes while preparing the batter.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Add eggs, milk, and melted and cooled butter to a separate large bowl and whisk to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and mix by hand until well incorporated.
Stir in shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives until combined.
Spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the waffle batter. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions.*
Serve savory waffles with an over-easy egg, additional fresh chives, and either a drizzle of pure maple syrup -OR- a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
