Ingredients
  

2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for added depth)

1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk and 1 tablespoon vinegar)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing the waffle iron

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by turning on your waffle iron to the appropriate setting as per its instructions, allowing it to heat while you prepare the batter.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until they are fully combined and smooth. Then, stir in the melted butter until well blended.

      Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly until no lumps remain, ensuring an even mixture.

        Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—it's acceptable for the mixture to remain slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing as this can make the waffles tough.

          Incorporate Corn and Add-Ins: Carefully fold in the sweet corn kernels, chopped green onions, and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Feel free to adjust the corn quantity based on your personal texture preference.

            Cook the Waffles: Using a brush or spray, grease the waffle iron plates lightly with additional melted butter. Pour in the appropriate amount of batter, roughly 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle iron size. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's guidelines, usually for about 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and have a crispy exterior.

              Serve Immediately: Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles from the iron. Serve them warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if you like. They pair wonderfully with a dollop of sour cream, sliced avocado, or your favorite salsa for an added burst of flavor.

                Storing Leftovers: If you have any waffles leftover, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven or use a toaster to maintain their crispy texture.
