Cornbread Waffles with Pulled Pork, Beans, and Slaw
You are going to love this savory take on waffles! Cornbread waffles with pulled pork, beans, and slaw is a mind-blowing combination of all kinds of favorite Southern staples in one easy recipe.
Servings: 6 large waffles
Ingredients
For the waffles:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup light oil such as canola, avocado, or vegetable
For toppings:
- BBQ Pork Tenderloin in the Crock Pot
- Grandma Lucy's Baked Beans Recipe
- Any favorite cole slaw recipe
- Additional BBQ sauce cheese, or pickles for serving, optional
Instructions
- Plug in your waffle iron, and get it heating (I have found that the deep wells of a Belgian-style waffle maker work great for this recipe).
- In a large bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Make a well in the center of the dry mixture, and add the buttermilk, eggs, and oil. Whisk to combine well.
- Cook the batter according to the manufacturer’s directions of your waffle iron.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- When one waffle is done, let it rest on a wire rack, taking care not to stack the waffles (the steam they produce makes them soggy if you stack them on a plate).
- Serve hot with your favorite pulled pork sandwich sides and toppings. This is a GREAT way to use or stretch leftovers from another meal.
Notes
- You can use store-bought buttermilk or homemade buttermilk. To make homemade buttermilk, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar to a 2-cup measuring cup. Fill the rest of the measuring cup up with milk (to the 2-cup line, since that’s how much you need). Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes before using. For more info, check out my post all about buttermilk.
- Make sure your waffle iron is hot before cooking each waffle so that they turn out perfectly crisp.
- This meal is a great one for prepping parts ahead of time or using up leftover from another barbecue meal.
- You might enjoy other toppings like cheese, jalapenos, hot sauce, and so on.
