Step 1: Dry Ingredients ... Add the flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, sugar, salt, baking soda and powder to a large bowl; and, mix until combined.
Step 2: Wet Ingredients ... In a small bowl; add the melted butter, beaten egg, apple cider, maple syrup, almond milk, and herbs; then, mix until combined.
Step 3: Combine ... Add the wet ingredients to the dry; and, lightly mix. Do NOT over mix; just until all the ingredients are incorporated. Then, make sure to let the batter rest at least 30 minutes before making the waffles. This will make your waffles, light and crispy.
Step 4: Waffles ... Prepare your waffle iron like you normally would. I like to lightly spray mine with a non-stick spray; and, make sure it is preheated.
Step 5: You can make them small, medium, or large; that is up to you. Now, my waffle iron has a green light when they are done; so, I just go by that. It seems to work perfectly every time. Once done; remove to a plate and cover to stay warm. Each iron is a bit different; so, just do what you are used to.
Step 6: If making a lot of them; put them on a wire rack, placed on a sheet pan ... in a 225-250 degree oven to stay warm. When placed on a wire rack, they will stay nice and crisp. If placed directly on a sheet pan; they will tend to get soft and soggy. You can always freeze, and reheat in the oven; or even in a toaster as well.
Step 7: Serve ... As mentioned; serve as a main dish with fried chicken and my apple chutney - http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/easy-fresh-apple-chutney-24102; as a side dish with your favorite chutney or salsa - and, for breakfast with yogurt, honey, warm cranberry; or, fresh fruit. ENJOY!
