Cornbread Waffle Bites

One day, I was out of bread and had some small boxes of cornbread mix on hand, which led to the creation of Cheesy Bacon Cornbread Waffle Bites. We all have our favorite brands. Mine is Martha White because I can usually find it at a low price. Jiffy is also good, but Southerners often balk at the sweetness. No matter your preference, it’s easy to pour the batter into a waffle iron and make this delicious alternative to bread. But note that if you use a Belgian waffle maker, they will be quite thick.

      Hi Diane,

      Yes, 2 ounces is correct. Hope they turn out well for you!
