In a mixing bowl combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix briefly to combine.
Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Mix well.
Warm your maple syrup. Pre-heat the waffle iron. DO NOT oil your waffle iron. there is plenty of oil in the batter to keep these lovelies from sticking.
Pour yourself a cup of coffee and catch up with your kids or your sweetheart while you let the batter sit and ferment for 30 minutes.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto your heated waffle iron. Follow cooking instructions for your particular model.
Serve with whatever your heart desires. Simple goodness with warmed maple syrup is my go-to, but whatever you've got on hand will do nicely to make this a special treat. Try whipped cream, fresh fruit, chocolate, fried chicken and spicy Korean seasonings. Pretty much anything goes. Eat long and prosper.
