My friend Robyn will attest that I was obsessed with cornbread long before I lived in the South. I remember sending her a souvenir magnet with – you guessed it – a cornbread recipe on it back when we were in college. That was looong time ago.
When I heard on a recent WDW Radio podcast that Disney’s Landscape of Flavors now serves pulled pork with cornbread waffles, I wondered why I hadn’t thought of this before!
Cornbread AND waffles!?! Seems like the perfect Southern food mash-up to me.
So of course I immediately got my waffle iron out and gave it a try. I used a cheap box of Jiffy cornbread mix and followed the directions on the box (add one egg and 1/3 cup milk).
The batter seemed too thick to me so I added a tablespoon of melted butter and few more splashes of milk.
The result? Cornbread nirvana (as far as I can tell). They were crispy yet fluffy and retained the amazing cornbread texture that is near and dear to my heart.
We had them for dinner with Carolina-style Pork Barbeque and coleslaw and it was amazing.
Then a few days later we had them for breakfast. I didn’t feel that they needed any butter or syrup because they were so good by themselves.
The box of cornbread mix cost me around $0.50 so they are about as frugal as it gets. Hope you try them out and please leave a comment if you do!
