Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon double acting baking powder
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 ¼ cups creamed corn
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup canola oil plus extra for greasing the waffle iron
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 jalapeño peppers
  • 10 ½ oz extra sharp cheddar grated

Optional for serving:

  • Your favorite chili con carne
  • Thinly sliced onions
  • Grated sharp cheddar
  • Sliced jalapeños

Instructions

  • Chop your onion and your peppers finely.
  • Mix the yellow cornmeal, flour, salt baking soda and baking powder together in a large bowl.
  • In another smaller bowl, whisk together the sour cream, creamed corn, eggs and oil.
  • Add the chopped peppers and onion to the wet ingredients. Stir well.
  • Fold your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients until just mixed.
  • Now add in the grated cheddar and stir well until combined.
  • Heat your waffle iron and brush the interior with a little oil to grease.
  • Bake the batter according to manufacturer’s instructions, being careful not to over fill the waffle iron.

I like to leave mine in for a little longer after the “ready” light comes on to get crunchier edges. Serve as is OR top with a couple of spoonfuls of chili con carne and garnish with more cheese, onions and jalapeño slices.
