Corn Scallion Waffles are pillowy, savory waffles that taste delicious with sour cream. It’s like a corn muffin only better. They are perfect for breakfast with a side of eggs or for dinner with some fried fish. (Can we make fish and waffles a thing? It’s seriously yummy.)
Scallions, aka green onions, are a long, skinny onion plant sold in bunches and have a mild onion flavor. The white area closer to the bulb has more of an astringent taste. As you move up into the green stalk the flavor becomes more mild. I chose to use only the greens as they bring just the right amount of tang to the Corn Scallion Waffles.
When making any kind of cornbread or muffin,etc the ratio of cornmeal to flour is very important. If you use too much corn flour, the consistency becomes dry and crumbly. Not enough corn and it will just taste like a plain waffle. The blend of corn flour and all-purpose flour that I use in these Corn Scallion Waffles gives them that soft texture and sweet corn flavor.
The last important piece you will need to make my Corn Scallion Waffles is a waffle maker, aka waffle iron. Waffle makers come in different varieties, different shapes, different metals, different capacities. Always read the user manual, so you will know the batter capacity for your particular waffle maker. I used a standard belgium flip waffle maker in the photos and videos for this recipe. I will link the waffle maker I used below. Mine takes 1 cup of batter to fill. A square waffle iron, that makes 4 waffles at a time, I would use ½ cup of batter per waffle for 2 Cups of batter per batch. Again, please read and follow the capacity for your waffle maker.
