Instructions

  1. Whisk together the dry ingredients.
  2. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. 
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, folding together until just combined. Don't over mix -the batter should be shaggy, vs smooth.
  4. Add in the melted butter, and cheese, folding together gently. Again - don't over mix!!
  5. Heat your waffle maker. I like to use a high setting (but yours may be different - keep an eye on it!)
  6. Grease the waffle maker, then add around 3/4 cup of batter for large Belgian style waffles. Use 1/2 cup for the flatter, less deep waffle irons.
  7. Cook until browned and crispy.
  8. Top with hot chili, sour cream, extra cheese and a little cilantro.
  9. Devour!

Notes

  • Grease your waffle maker each time with cooking spray (or brush with butter) to ensure your waffle will come out easily!
  • Don't overmix the batter, just gently fold together until just combined.
  • Refrigerate any remaining batter, but make sure you use it up within a day or so. Even better, just cook all the batter, and freeze extra waffles.
  • Store savory waffles in the refrigerator in a zip-lock back, or freeze, seperating the waffles with parchment. To reheat - just place in the toaster or oven for a few minutes until warmed.
  • How many waffles does this make? This recipe makes 5 really big waffles, in my Belgian Waffle Maker (the kind with the really deep grooves), but with a smaller, flatter waffle iron, you would likely get a lot more. Which really just means you could snarf 2 and be just fine.
