- 2 cups masa harina (eg. Maseca)
- ½ cup yellow cornmeal
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 4 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 ¼ cups milk or replace with your favorite dairy-free milk to make these waffles dairy-free
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter melted (or replace with a non-dairy butter alternative to make these waffles dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional - omit if you're using these for a savory meal)
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups masa harina, ½ cup yellow cornmeal, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 4 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
In a separate large bowl, lightly whisk 3 large eggs, then whisk in 2 ¼ cups milk, ¼ cup canola oil, 2 Tablespoons butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla
Whisk the liquid ingredients into the corn mixture until smooth. Allow the batter to sit for 5-10 minutes while the waffle maker heats up. The batter will thicken. Lightly grease waffle iron, and pour batter in and cook as per the instructions of your waffle iron. Serve with your choice of fruit and/or syrup. Waffles can be frozen and stored in a zipper bag.
