- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp pure cane sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk (or whole milk)

- Make a well in the center of the dried ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.
- Mix it all together until it is just combined and there is no dry flour. Don't worry about it being lumpy, the lumps will cook out. You don't want to overmix the batter.

- Cook until the light goes out. Repeat this until you have cooked all the waffles.
- Each 2 waffles as your burger buns. They should fit a 3 or 4 oz burger patty. You can make it a double patty if you want more meat.
