Instructions
Make the Honey Butter
Beat softened salted butter with 2 tablespoons of honey until smooth and fluffy. Set aside at room temperature.
Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and remaining honey. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Preheat the Waffle Iron
Preheat your waffle iron to medium high heat and grease lightly with nonstick spray or butter. Allow it to fully preheat for at least 3 minutes before adding batter.
Cook the Waffles
Pour enough batter to fill your waffle iron about three quarters full. Close and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until steam stops releasing and the waffle is golden and crispy. Repeat with remaining batter.
Top and Serve
Serve hot waffles immediately topped with a generous spoonful of honey butter. Optionally drizzle with extra honey and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
