Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs until fully incorporated.

Cooking
  1. Lightly grease the waffle maker, and scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the plates.
  2. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the steam is minimal and the waffles are golden brown.
  3. Carefully remove the waffle bites from the maker and serve immediately, drizzled with honey or syrup if desired.
