Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1-2 jalapeños, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the buttermilk and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños.
Lightly grease your waffle iron if needed.
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly.
Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For a spicier waffle, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in.
You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter for extra heat.
