Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornmeal
  • 1¼ teaspoon double-acting baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped jalapeno pepper
  • 2 tablespoons corn oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat your waffle iron. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  2. Melt the butter; reserve. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper to the mix. In another bowl, beat together the buttermilk and egg until well blended and whisk into the dry ingredients. Stir in the cilantro and jalapeno. Fold in the corn oil and melted butter, mixing only until combined.
  3. Lightly butter or spray the grids of your waffle iron, if needed. Brush or spray the grids again only if subsequent waffles stick.
  4. Spoon out between ⅓ to ½ cup batter depending on size of waffle maker, onto the iron, spreading it evenly to the edge of the grids with a metal spatula or wooden spoon. Close the lid and bake until golden and crispy. Remove the waffle from the iron and separate into hearts, or cut into whatever size pieces you want. Place on a baking sheet, in a single layer, and put into preheated oven for 1 to 1½ hours, or until they are very crispy.
  5. Serve immediately or cool on a rack and serve at room temperature.
  6. Waffles can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored at room temperatute in a loosely covered tin.
