CORN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 200 F - this is to keep them warm as you make more batches. Skip this step if you are serving them as they come out of the waffle iron .
• Heat the waffle iron on a medium setting, following the instructions in your waffle iron brochure or manual.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
• In another bowl, combine the eggs and milk; whisk until well blended. Whisk in the 1/4 cup of melted butter.
• Add the egg and milk mixture to the flour mixture and blend thoroughly. Stir in the corn kernels. If necessary, add more milk to make the batter thin enough to flow when poured into the waffle iron.
• Following the appliance directions, fill the waffle iron with the batter, gently spreading as needed.
• When the first batch is done, remove them to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven to keep warm while you cook subsequent batches.
• To serve, drizzle the corn waffles with melted butter and maple syrup or dust them with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!
