For extra crispy waffles, try adding a tablespoon or two of melted butter to the batter before chilling. Don't overmix the batter! A few lumps are perfectly fine and will result in a more tender waffle. Chilling the batter is crucial for achieving the right texture. Don't skip this step! Adjust the amount of batter you use per waffle depending on the size of your waffle iron. For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular softened butter. Get creative with your toppings! Try Nutella, peanut butter, banana slices, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. (2 minutes)
02
StepIn a separate, larger bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half and buttermilk until incorporated. (3 minutes)
03
StepAdd the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently stir until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; avoid overmixing. (2 minutes)
04
StepCover the batter and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight. This allows the gluten to relax and the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more tender waffle. (60 minutes)
05
StepWhen ready to bake, preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly coat the iron with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
06
StepPour about 2/3 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp around the edges, approximately 4-6 minutes. (6 minutes)
07
StepCarefully remove the waffle from the iron and transfer it to a plate. Keep warm in a preheated oven (200°F) while you cook the remaining batter. (2 minutes)
08
StepServe the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, chocolate chips, fresh berries, and a dollop of whipped cream.
