Frequently asked questions
Can you make cornbread waffles in a regular waffle iron?
Yes. Cornbread batter cooks beautifully in a standard waffle iron. Preheat it well and lightly grease it, then pour in the batter and cook until golden and cooked through. The waffle iron gives you crispy edges and a fluffy interior, with far more crispy surface area than a pan of baked cornbread.
Are green chile cornbread waffles sweet or savory?
These lean savory, thanks to the Roasted Hatch green chile and melty cheddar, with just a touch of sugar in the cornbread batter for balance. They're a savory breakfast or dinner waffle. Top them with a fried egg or green chile sauce for savory, or a drizzle of honey if you want a sweet-savory contrast.
What do you serve on green chile cornbread waffles?
Top them with a fried egg for a hearty breakfast, a spoonful of green chile sauce for extra New Mexico flavor, or a drizzle of honey for a sweet-and-savory finish. They also pair well alongside a bowl of chili or stew as a savory cornbread substitute at dinner.
Where can I buy Hatch green chile for cornbread waffles?
You can order Roasted Hatch Green Chile shipped from our family farm in the Hatch Valley. Chopped roasted chile folds right into the batter and keeps its smoky flavor through cooking. Freeze-dried chopped chile is a handy pantry option that rehydrates quickly when you want waffles on a whim.
