Waffle Tip:
Cornstarch makes the waffles crisper. If you don’t have cornstarch,
you could still make great waffles by omitting cornstarch and increasing flour
to 2 cups. Bake as directed.

Pour batter onto bottom grid of waffle maker; sprinkle batter with fresh
(or defrosted frozen) blueberries. Close waffle maker and bake as directed.
