Black Cherry Waffles

3/4 cup Flour
1/4 cup Cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
3/4 cup Black Cherry flavored Soda Water
1/4 cup Milk
6 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1 Egg
1 tablespoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

Heat oven to 200F degrees. Mix flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and sugar in a medium bowl. Measure milk and vegetable oil in a 2-cup measuring cup; mix in egg, vanilla and set aside. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed. Add Black Cherry soda. Fold in with a sparula until just incorporated. Add batter to hot waffle iron, and cook until crisp and nutty brown. Set waffle directly on rack in preheated oven to keep it warm and crisp, at least 5 and up to 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with syrup.

Notes:
Servings: 4
Notes: Do not stack waffles in oven, they will become limp.

I was playing with the Kid the other night and she said she wanted pancakes. Fine.
I did the Bisquick thing but added a fair slug of cornstarch. Wet it with a carbonated
flavored water (black cherry from Wal-Mart).
Did them fast on a hot skillet and she was shocked and loved them.
They were crispy on the outside and crunched when she ate
them. Sweet and cherry-flavored. Thought they were the
funniest thing going.
