Preparation

  1. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Cut the cream cheese into 1 cm (1/2 in.) cubes. Slice the sausages in half lengthwise.
  3. Thread each half-sausage onto twelve bamboo skewers.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. In another bowl, whisk the egg with the buttermilk. Add the wet mixture to the cornmeal mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until the batter is homogeneous. Add the jalapeño, cheddar, and cream cheese cubes. Mix gently. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy—this is normal.

Lesters’ Tips and Tricks

* No Buttermilk

Spray the plates of the waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with oil. Spoon about 45 ml (3 tbsp) of batter onto each lower plate and spread evenly. Place four sausage skewers over the batter, spacing them slightly apart. Cover with another 45 ml (3 tbsp) of batter on each section and spread evenly. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until golden. Remove from the waffle iron, then cut between each skewer. Repeat with the remaining batter and sausage skewers.
