Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, corn starch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Make a shallow well in the dry ingredients and add buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla, and stir together until just combined.
- Allow batter to sit for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200°F and set a baking sheet inside to place the waffle(s) on after cooking to keep warm while you cook the rest of the batter.*
- Preheat waffle iron and cook batter according to your iron's instructions*, typically 4 to 6 minutes per waffle, until waffle is nicely golden and has mostly stopped releasing steam. Waffle may not initially seem crispy to the touch, but will crisp up out of the waffle maker.
- Top with melted butter and syrup if desired, and enjoy!

CRUNCHY AND LIGHT WAFFLES FOR TWO
Reincarnated from the Frugal Gourmet's recipe, this waffle batter is made air light by the addition of a beaten egg white to produce an exceptionally crisp waffle. Best made on an older waffle iron, the teflon ones can undercook your waffles. You may need to let it continue to cook for 30 seconds even after the light goes off for a nice crunchy waffle.

LIGHT AND CRISPY WAFFLES
These light and crispy waffles come together quickly. Cornstarch is the secret to crispy waffles. It guarantees that your waffles will be perfectly crisp and tender. This recipe makes four standard waffles (1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick). If you want to make thicker Belgian waffles or use a deep waffle iron, you will get closer to three waffles using our recipe below. Separating the egg is optional but is recommended. We do not do this in the video; however, after years of feedback from readers, we have determined that whipping the egg white thickens the batter slightly and improves the results for deeper waffle irons.

Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.
- For the lightest waffles, separate the egg. Whisk the egg yolk into the milk mixture. If you do not plan on separating the egg, whisk the whole egg into the milk mixture.
- If you separate the egg, add the egg white to another bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat until stiff, and then set aside.
- Whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until only small lumps are left. Switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold in the whipped egg whites.
- Set the batter aside for five to ten minutes while preparing the waffle iron.
- Heat the waffle iron to the highest heat setting.
- Cook waffles until golden and crisp, adding enough batter to the waffle iron to fill the entire lower grid. If the waffles look too dark, turn the heat down slightly.
- Serve the waffles immediately or keep them warm and crispy on a rack in a 200°F oven until ready to serve. Stacking them outside the oven will cause them to steam and become floppy.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200°F and heat the waffle iron.
- Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
- Measure the buttermilk, milk, and vegetable oil in a Pyrex measuring cup; mix in the egg yolk and set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the egg white almost to soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until the peaks are firm and glossy. Beat in the vanilla.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed.
- Drop the whipped egg white onto the batter in dollops and fold in with a spatula until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until the waffle is crisp and nutty brown (follow the manufacturer's instructions for timing at first and then adjust to your liking).
- Set the waffle directly on the oven rack to keep it warm and crisp.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, holding the waffles in the oven (don't stack them).
Tips:
- Use the right ingredients. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your waffles.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the waffles tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest. Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking will allow the gluten to relax, which will make the waffles lighter and fluffier.
- Use a hot waffle iron. A hot waffle iron will help the waffles cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the waffle iron. Cooking too many waffles at once will cause them to cook unevenly.
- Serve the waffles immediately. Waffles are best served hot and fresh. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a preheated oven at 200°F.
Conclusion:
These crunchy and light waffles are the perfect way to start your day. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
