How to Make Crispy Cornmeal Bacon Waffles
- Cook 1/2 pound center-cut bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes.
- Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Crumble bacon when cool enough to handle.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients (buttermilk mixture) into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix!
- Fold in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter and the crumbled bacon.
- Preheat your waffle iron. Lightly brush the grids with melted butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Spread evenly over the grid.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.
- Carefully remove the waffle from the waffle iron and transfer to a plate.
- Serve immediately with extra maple syrup, if desired.
