Made these waffles on a snow day last year and they were a hit! They are light and fluffy and wonderful. My husband now requests them by their very fitting name!

These have become one of our regular Sunday breakfast rotations. We always double the recipe for our family of 4. When doubled, we use 1 cup unbleached flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour. When we have it in the house, we prefer to use buttermilk. As many others have stated, yes the batter will be thin, and yes, it does seem weird to use so much cornstarch. Regardless, the waffles turn out great. Oh, and it really does seem to make quite a difference to let the batter sit for 30 minutes.

Easy to make and so good! I added a little extra sugar and vanilla. We like our waffles a little sweeter...
