Instructions

Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
Pour the 1 ½ cups milk, ¼ cup flavorless oil, 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract into a liquid measuring cup or a small bowl. Whisk thoroughly until combined. (The eggs need to be completely incorporated.)
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Stir until just combined. The batter does not need to be completely smooth, so do not mix it until it is smooth or it will be overmixed.
Pour ⅓ cup of the waffle batter into a greased, hot waffle iron. (This will be dependent on the size of your waffle maker, so you might need more or less, and depending on this, you will have more or less waffles. A third of a cup is the correct scoopage for my waffle maker.)
Cook until crispy and cooked through.
Repeat until all the waffles have been made and enjoy!

Notes

Please note that the cook time is an estimate of what it will take to cook a single waffle. This time is dependent on your waffle maker and how long you like to cook your waffles (and how crispy you like the exterior to be.)
