Waffle Batter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually stir in the grits, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Waffle Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Once the grits have cooled, stir them into the wet ingredients. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Preheat Waffle Maker

    Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  4. 4

    Cook the Waffles

    Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle maker, using enough to cover the surface. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the waffles carefully and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
