Prepare the waffle iron by preheating it according to manufacturer's instructions and generously coating cooking plates with cooking spray or melted butter.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until there are no lumps.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until smooth and creamy.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the cheddar cheese and jalapeños.

Pour about 3/4 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron for each waffle. Close and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove cooked waffles and let cool on a wire rack for extra crispiness. Serve hot with desired toppings.
