Non-Floppy Vegan Waffles

I made this for Mom's Day for my mom. Some vegan waffle recipes I found online warned about sogginess, and who the hell likes a soggy waffle. Not me!

Here is what I came up with:

Non-Floppy Vegan Waffles

DRY
1 & 1/2 cups all purp flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 tbls gram flour (chick pea flour)
1 tbls baking powder
3/4 tsp salt

WET
2 cups non-sweetened vegan milk (soy, almond, whatevah)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbls unflavored oil (canola, grapeseed, whatevah)

LUMPY
2 tbls Egg-replaced (potato starch) dissolved in 1/4 water

Turn waffle iron on. Keep your spray oil or whatever you use handy to oil it up (even if it's non-stick, trust me). Mix your lumpy with your wet, then sift all your dry in a big bowl. Stir in the wet, gently turning it. You do NOT want to beat the lumps out of it, because that makes the waffles have a rubber halloween mask-like texture. You may still have a few dry floury spots, that's okay. It' should be bubbly and poofing. Make sure your waffle iron is prepped with your oil and start spooning. You don't want the batter sitting around too long.

Eat with whatever you eat waffles with (vegan marg, molasses, maple syrup, jelly, etc). They stay crisp for a while and can be reheated in a toaster for later yumminess, if you have any left over.

Mom is an omni and loved them, but I also made strawberry syrup too, cause I am cool like that:

Mother's Day Strawberry Syrup

1 pt organic strawberries hulled and sliced (organic is a must, unless you like styrofoam taste of freak non-organic strawberries)
1/8 - 1/4 cup vegan sugar
1/2 cup water plus 1/4 cup water
1 tbls arrowroot. (cornstarch will do, but make sure it's completely cooked!)

dissolve the arrowroot starch in a cup with 1\4 water. Put the rest in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring gently until sugar dissolves and it starts to bubble a little. Add the arrowroot mixture and stir gently until no longer cloudy. Simmer for one minute. Serve.

I know this is like pie filling but F-U. I don't know how to cook sugar to the correct syrup consistency, and no one at this brunch complained, missy.
