Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Waffles Recipes

CHEDDAR CORNBREAD WAFFLES FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Whisk together the dry ingredients.
• In a smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry, folding together until just combined. Don't over mix -the batter should be shaggy, vs smooth.
• Add in the melted butter, and cheese, folding together gently. Again - don't over mix!!
• Heat your waffle maker. I like to use a high setting (but yours may be different - keep an eye on it!)
• Grease the waffle maker, then add around 3/4 cup of batter for large Belgian style waffles. Use 1/2 cup for the flatter, less deep waffle irons.
• Cook until browned and crispy.
• Top with hot chili, sour cream, extra cheese and a little cilantro.
• Devour!

JALAPENO CHEDDAR CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and butter. With a wooden spoon, stir the wet ingredients into the dry until most of the lumps are dissolved. Don't overmix! Mix in 2 cups of the grated Cheddar, the scallions and jalapenos, and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking pan.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the remaining grated Cheddar and extra chopped scallions. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool and cut into large squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

JALAPENO AND CHEDDAR CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. If using an 8-inch-square baking dish instead, simply grease the bottom of the dish with some of the butter and place the remainder in the bottom of the dish. Set the skillet or dish aside.
• Sift the flour blend, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda together into a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, mix the buttermilk and eggs together well. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to thoroughly mix.
• Fold in the cheese, creamed corn, green onions and chiles and stir until well combined.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared skillet or baking dish and dab a bit more butter on top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Leave to cool in the pan or dish a few minutes before slicing and serving while warm.

CORNBREAD-CHEDDAR WAFFLES WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup of the grated cheese in a large mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk 2 eggs, then whisk in the buttermilk and vegetable oil. Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
• Preheat a waffle iron and coat with cooking spray. Pour some of the batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the waffles to a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 8 eggs with the scallion in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and gently stir with a rubber spatula until just set, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover to keep warm.
• Just before serving, preheat the broiler to low. Scatter the remaining 1 cup grated cheese over the waffles and broil just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Top the waffles with the scrambled eggs.

Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into mixture.
