In a separate bowl, mix together ¼ tsp of salt, 2 tsp of baking powder, ½ cup of corn starch, ½ cup of all purpose flour, and ¼ cup of sweet rice flour.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
Heat a waffle maker until hot. Pour ⅔ cup of batter into the waffle maker and let it cook for 4-6 minutes. Put the finished waffle onto a plate and repeat the process until there is no more batter. This recipe should yield ~3 waffles.

Notes

I turned my waffle maker up to the highest setting for my waffles. However, every waffle maker is different so I recommend making a test waffle to understand which settings work for you.
