Dream Waffles

Last Christmas, Luke asked the Wagner fam for a waffle maker and he received it, along with the best waffle mix ever.  He makes waffles at least once a week now, and they're always good, but never quite the same pudding-middled eggshell-crusted delight as that first box .. until this morning.  He found the Aretha Frankenstein recipe online and if you've got a waffle iron you need to make this tomorrow.

From food52.com:

Serves 2 hungry people

• 3/4 cups 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 (or a combination)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Butter and pure maple syrup, for serving

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. Heat a waffle iron. Follow the directions on your waffle iron to cook the waffles. Serve immediately with butter and pure maple syrup or hold in a 200 degree oven, directly on the rack (don't stack them or they'll get soggy). These also reheat very well in the toaster.
