Description

Sweet Cornbread Waffle Bites with Creamy Honey Butter Syrup are a delightful twist on traditional cornbread, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or snacking. These mini waffles are golden and tender with a touch of honey, served with a luscious syrup made of butter, honey, and maple. A delicious Southern-inspired treat that’s kid-friendly and easy to mak


Ingredients

For the Waffles:

  • 1 1/2 cups cornmeal

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon honey

For the Honey Butter Syrup:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla, and honey.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.

  5. Lightly grease the waffle iron. Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of batter onto the iron and cook until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used.

  6. While waffles cook, make the syrup: in a small saucepan, melt butter with honey and maple syrup over low heat. Add a pinch of salt and stir until smooth and warm.

  7. Serve warm waffle bites drizzled with creamy honey butter syrup.


Notes

  • Perfect for dipping or serving on skewers for parties.

  • Add a dash of cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.

  • Leftovers can be frozen and reheated in a toaster.
