Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked white rice
• 1 cup Corn kernels
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 3 tablespoons Melted butter
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk them together to ensure they are well mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the milk and melted butter. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the cooked rice, corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Lightly grease the waffle iron with vegetable oil. You can use a brush or a paper towel to ensure a thin, even coating.

Step 7

Spoon about 1/2 cup of the batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to the waffle maker’s instructions, usually for about 5-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a wire rack. This will keep it crispy while you cook the remaining waffles.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron in between batches as necessary.

Step 10

Serve the rice and corn waffles warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite waffle toppings. Enjoy!
