Ingredients
Scale
Waffle Bites
- 1 cup cornbread mix
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
Honey Butter Syrup
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking and crisp texture.
- Mix Batter: In a bowl, combine the cornbread mix, buttermilk, and egg. Stir the ingredients thoroughly until fully combined, creating a smooth batter.
- Add Optional Ingredients: Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon if desired, adding extra flavor and texture to the batter.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker to prevent sticking. Pour the batter onto the heated waffle iron and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the waffle bites are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Prepare Honey Butter Syrup: While waffles cook, melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in honey, maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well until warmed through and combined, creating a smooth syrup.
- Serve: Remove the cooked cornbread waffle bites from the waffle maker. Drizzle the warm honey butter syrup evenly over the waffle bites.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect blend of crisp, savory bites with sweet syrup.
Notes
- You can customize these waffle bites by leaving out the cheese or bacon for a vegetarian version.
- Ensure the waffle maker is well preheated for optimal crispiness.
- Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture.
- Store any leftover waffle bites in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven to maintain crispiness.
- The honey butter syrup can be adjusted in sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
