Description:

Indulge in the delightful combination of sweet corn waffles paired with zesty cilantro-lime butter, a perfect breakfast treat to kickstart your day! These crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside waffles are infused with the goodness of corn kernels and topped with a refreshing buttery spread that’s bursting with flavor. Whether you’re hosting a brunch or simply craving a special morning meal, these corn waffles will surely elevate your breakfast game.

Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime rind, grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cilantro-Lime Butter: In a small bowl, combine the butter, fresh cilantro, grated lime rind, and fresh lime juice. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Cover the bowl and chill the butter mixture in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.

  2. Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

  3. Create a Well: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, creating a space for the wet ingredients.

  4. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, crack the eggs and add the buttermilk and vegetable oil. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it forms a smooth consistency.

  5. Incorporate the Corn: Stir in the frozen whole kernel corn into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.

  6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently stir the batter until the ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

  7. Cook the Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly oil the surface. Once heated, pour the waffle batter onto the iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook the waffles until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.

  8. Serve: Remove the freshly cooked corn waffles from the iron and place them on a serving plate. Top each waffle with a generous dollop of the prepared cilantro-lime butter, allowing it to melt slightly over the warm waffle.

  9. Enjoy: Serve the corn waffles warm, allowing your taste buds to revel in the harmonious blend of sweet corn and zesty lime, complemented by the richness of butter and freshness of cilantro. Pair with your favorite breakfast beverages for a complete morning feast!
