Lower heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to assemble.
- For the corn waffles, preheat waffle iron. In a large bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Add eggs, milk, melted butter, honey and corn kernels. Stir just until moistened. Let batter rest for 5 minutes. Cook in waffle iron until golden brown and cooked through.
