Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup melted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent for light, airy waffles.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs well. Then stir in the Greek yogurt, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps help keep the waffles tender.
- Preheat and Grease Your Waffle Iron: Set your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray for easy release and crispiness.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading evenly to cover. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, usually 4-6 minutes, until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Notes
- Don’t skip the Greek yogurt; it’s key to soft, tangy, and tender waffles.
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and better rise.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to fully hydrate the flour for improved texture.
- Oil your waffle iron generously to prevent sticking and ensure crisp waffles.
- Check doneness by looking for a deep golden brown color and minimal steam before opening the waffle iron.
