Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk or buttermilk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Butter and syrup, for serving

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix well. Add the milk, vegetable oil, egg, sugar and vanilla and mix well. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat a waffle iron. Do not use non-stick spray on the waffle iron; the oil in the batter will allow the waffle to release easily. Follow the directions on your waffle iron to cook the waffles. Serve immediately with butter and syrup.

This truly is a waffle of insane greatness. I make homemade waffles all the time because I love them. This recipe yields waffles with a great texture and taste. The only changes I made were to add less oil and more vanilla. Please don’t use milk, even though the recipe says milk or buttermilk. After using buttermilk several times, I tried milk and got a sloppy mess not right for waffles. I made that batch of waffles anyway, since, after all, the recipe said milk, but that was the one and only time. Buttermilk is a key to this recipe’s insane greatness. Just pretend that word milk isn’t there haha. The thing I was most impressed with was the ingredient corn starch, which I would have never thought of. I’ll be using this recipe for many years - with only buttermilk - and I appreciate finding it.
