Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
