Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup cornbread mix
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
Dairy and Cheese:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) melted butter
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk cornbread mix, buttermilk, egg, and melted butter in a medium bowl until completely blended. Optional: fold in shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor complexity.
- Heat mini waffle maker and lightly coat with cooking spray at 350°F. Carefully deposit approximately 1 tablespoon of batter into each waffle section.
- Cook waffles for 3-4 minutes until edges turn crisp and golden brown. Ensure consistent color and texture across each miniature waffle.
- Create syrup by combining honey, butter, maple syrup, and a delicate pinch of salt in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Gently stir syrup ingredients until butter fully melts and mixture develops a smooth, glossy consistency. Remove from heat immediately after blending.
- Arrange freshly cooked waffle bites on a serving platter, positioning them attractively for presentation.
- Generously drizzle warm honey butter syrup over waffle bites, ensuring each piece receives an even coating.
- Serve immediately while waffles maintain optimal crispness and syrup remains luxuriously warm.
Notes
- Customize the batter by adding crispy bacon bits, jalapeños, or green onions for extra flavor and texture.
- Ensure the waffle maker is evenly heated to prevent uneven browning or sticking of the cornbread waffles.
- Prep the syrup ingredients beforehand to have a quick, smooth finishing touch that elevates the entire dish.
- Store leftover waffle bites in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster oven for maximum crispiness.
