The syrup is easy to make, but start it before you make the waffles. Simply reduce apple cider, add maple syrup and thyme, and steep until the waffles are ready.
Instructions
For the syrup, reduce cider in a saucepan over medium-high heat to ¼ cup, about 15 minutes. Add maple syrup, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Bring mixture to a boil, then let stand off heat until waffles are ready; strain if desired.
For the waffles, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ½ tsp. salt, and pepper.
Whisk together butter, buttermilk, eggs, Dijon, and sugar in a separate bowl; add to dry ingredients. Gently stir mixtures together with a fork until most (but not all) of the dry ingredients are moistened. Fold corned beef into batter.
Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions, then coat with nonstick spray.
Scoop about ⅓ cup batter into each waffle well and cook until crisp and golden. Serve waffles with syrup.
So the pieces distribute evenly in the batter, pulse diced corned beef in a food processor until minced.
Fold corned beef into waffle batter so you don't lose the volume created by the leavener.
