Can i use cornstarch in making waffles?

sure, but why do you want to use it. Cornstarch is used as a thickener, and is activated when reaching waters' boiling point. Not sure if this answers your question or not. If I am to guess, you are wanting to substitute the cornstarch for baking soda/baking powder. Again, I may be wrong about why you want to use it. As far as I know, cornstarch doesn't function like baking powder/soda in baking. The two act as leavening agents (creating air bubbles in baked goods), if this is your line of thinking, then cornstarch would not substitute. Hope this helps! Happy cooking, I love waffles!
