Spicy Cheddar Waffles
Yield: 10-12 waffles
 
Ingredients
  • 3 poblano peppers, stem and seeds removed
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tbl baking powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1½ tsp kosher salt
  • 8oz unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 ½ cups buttermilk
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 8oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions
  1. Cut the poblanos in half lengthwise and place them on a sheet pan with the skin side up. Move your oven rack to the top and broil the poblanos until their skin has blackened and blistered (about 5 minutes). Remove the skin before dicing the peppers, set them aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk and eggs just enough to break up the eggs. Pour this into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined but still a bit lumpy.
  3. Fold in the poblanos and grated cheddar. Let the batter rest 20-30 minutes.
  4. Heat up your waffle iron and cook the waffles according to the machine's instructions.
Notes
Make these a few hours ahead and warm them up in the oven just before serving.
