Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a light brushing of oil, if necessary.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron's guidelines for quantity). Spread the batter slightly if needed.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crispy on the outside (typically 4-6 minutes).
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
