Looking for a homemade buttermilk waffles recipe that stays crisp, freezes easily, and is delish? Cornmeal breakfast waffles with a little honey for sweetness are perfectly crispy and tender at the same time. The buttermilk does its magic while the cornmeal gives them that comforting country breakfast vibe and helps them stay as crisp under melted butter and hot syrup as they do under chicken. They freeze well, too!
Waffles are a favorite and I just don't make them enough— as if any amount could be enough. I have a couple of children that painstakingly fill each indentation with syrup and others that just slap as much butter and syrup on as they can and hope for the best.
I tend to be of the latter group, although I don't indulge myself too often. I can tell you that I have gone through a ton of flour and eggs in search of the best waffle recipe. When I find one that works I practically bronze it.
I have always loved the warm flavor of cornmeal whether it was muffins, cornbread, mixed grain pancakes, or whatever. I like the texture, the little crunchiness you get when it's cooked just right, and the way it tastes with honey or maple syrup puddled on top of it, mixing with pools of melting butter, and dripping down the sides. Now that's breakfast!
These are just right. They come out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just the way you want them to. There is a little burst of sweet flavor from the honey but not so much that you couldn't eat this waffles with chicken on top. Try them once and I believe that you will add this recipe to your list of favorites!
