Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mix The Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to evenly distribute everything and prepare the base of your waffle batter.
- Combine The Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the Greek yogurt, milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold together, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which could make the waffles tough.
- Preheat and Grease Your Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron to medium-high and lightly brush or spray it with melted butter or oil to prevent sticking and help create a golden crust.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour batter onto the waffle iron, using about ½ cup per waffle. Close and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Transfer waffles to a plate and serve immediately with your choice of toppings, savoring that perfect combination of tangy, fluffy, and crispy texture.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter to ensure light, tender waffles; a few lumps are fine.
- Preheat the waffle iron fully for crispy edges and even cooking.
- Measure batter precisely, about ½ cup per waffle, to prevent overflow and uneven waffles.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to activate baking powder and improve fluffiness.
