Instructions
1. Preheat your mini waffle maker and lightly grease with melted butter or oil. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. 3. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. 4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir just until combined; do not overmix. 5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter into each section of your mini waffle maker and cook 3–5 minutes, until golden. Repeat with remaining batter. 6. While waffles cook, combine honey and butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth and warm. Add cinnamon if desired. 7. Serve waffle bites on a platter drizzled with warm honey butter syrup.
Notes
• Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bites tender. • Keep cooked bites warm in a low oven while finishing the rest. • Use fresh baking powder for the fluffiest results. • Make ahead tip: whisk dry ingredients ahead and store in an airtight container.
