Method

1
Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high heat.

Combine flour, finely crushed corn flakes, corn meal, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, whisking together until evenly distributed.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.
4
Pour the egg-milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; small lumps in the batter are acceptable.
5
Stir the melted butter into the batter until fully incorporated.
