Buttermilk Waffles

This is the recipe I use to make waffles, which are a new favorite for me now! It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I developed a love for waffles. Freshly made waffles with some good maple syrup is the best breakfast! This recipe was adapted from Foodnetwork's Wafle of Insane Greatness.

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 1/2 cups buttermilk*
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon sugar 

1 teaspoon real vanilla extract

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk well. Add the milk, vegetable oil, egg, sugar and vanilla to a second bowl and mix very well. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until combined. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.

Preheat a waffle iron and follow the directions on your waffle maker for proper batter amount. Cook until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with maple syrup or any other toppings of your choice! These waffles are deliciously crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

* you can use whole milk instead of buttermilk but the taste will change slightly. :)
