Ingredients

1 cup dairy free milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup plain flour/all purpose flour
¼ cup corn flour
2 teaspoons white sugar/granulated sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda/baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the dairy free milk and white vinegar. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes. This will create a dairy free buttermilk substitute.
In a large bowl, whisk together the plain flour, corn flour, white sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt until well combined.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and crack in the egg. Add the vanilla extract, canola or vegetable oil, and the buttermilk substitute. Use a whisk to gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry until a batter forms.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the waffle iron is hot, lightly grease it with a little oil or non-stick spray.
Pour the batter into the waffle iron, using enough to just cover the waffle grid (the amount will vary depending on the size of your waffle iron. For my mini waffle maker it’s ¼ cup per waffle).
Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 3-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and repeat until all the batter has been used.
Serve the waffles immediately while warm and crispy with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

Notes

Makes 8 waffles which is enough for 4 people at 2 waffles each.

Store any leftover waffles in the fridge or freezer and reheat in the toaster or air fryer until warm and crispy.
