Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt.

Step 2

In separate large bowl (I use a batter bowl with a pour spout) beat together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, if using.

Step 3

Pour the dry ingredients over the wet, and stir just until mixed and almost smooth. A few small lumps should remain.

Step 4

Coat a waffle iron with a non-stick cooking spray and preheat it. Cook the batter according to the manufacturer's instructions. A waffle is usually ready to remove from the iron when it stops steaming, but waffle irons vary, so consult the user’s manual.

Step 5

Serve waffles immediately with plenty of salted butter and real maple syrup. ENJOY!
