Before dinner, prepare the cornbread waffles by whisking all the waffle ingredients in a mixing bowl. Batter should be thick, but still flow easily off the whisk. Cook the waffles according to manufacturer directions. Makes 6 waffles.
Plate the waffles and then top with chili and cheese and any other favorite toppings ~ sour cream, sliced green onions.
