I'm trying to make something similar to a waffle. I want the browned part to
be crunchy/crispy. But no matter how long I heat it, it remains spongy, even
when burnt. The ingredients are pretty generic:


all purpose flour
baking powder
corn starch
milk
water
egg
sugar


Is there something I need to add or remove to make it crispy?


Oil. All the waffle recipes I know of are pancake recipes with extra
oil.

I made buttermilk waffles just this last weekend, and used melted
butter instead of oil as directed by in Joy of Cooking
