Preparation
- Step 1
Melt butter either on the stove or in the microwave. Set aside.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, milk, melted butter, and eggs. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
- Step 3
Preheat a waffle iron and, using a pastry brush or paper towel, lightly coat with butter. Cook waffles (using about ½ cup batter per waffle) until golden and crisp. Butter the iron in between batches as needed. Serve waffles immediately as they are ready, or keep them warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
- If you don’t have yogurt (or sour cream or buttermilk will all work), substitute another 1 cup of milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar.

I can tell you one thing; if you forget the eggs, it doesn't taste very good.
After trying a lot of waffle recipes, this is now my go-to quick waffle. A few notes: Whisk the eggs really well, then drizzle in the melted butter while whisking. Add the milk and yogurt after that. Waffle batter is not the same as pancakes; use a whisk to incorporate the wet into the dry, and whisk it smooth, no lumps. Lastly, if you have a non-stick waffle maker, don't use butter or oil on it! Greasing the surface only makes waffles soggy. These are great with choc syrup and bananas!
I used my digital kitchen scale to measure the dry ingredients, but for fun I used the volume measurements to see how closely they matched. My measured two cups of flour was about 20g over what the recipe called for, not very surprising since it’s so easy to pack flour too tightly, but my teaspoon of baking powder weighed in at less than half the eight grams in the recipe. An internet search revealed that a teaspoon of baking powder is about four grams — a big difference for a key ingredient.
Great recipe, really easy to put together. the other comments regarding not greasing your waffle maker if it is non-stick are correct. although next time I make this I will probably slash the salt in half. I have put the remainders in the freezer so look forward to see how they will be when defrosted.
Been doing this recipe for a few years now and always great. Agreed, go by weights, not volumes, just like any baking recipe. Volumes with flour and salt are a big no. I've used plain as well as greek yogurt but prefer the final taste and texture of greek. And as others have mentioned, don't grease your waffle iron if non-stick (I use a Breville Smart Waffle). They always come out perfect. Has anyone tried a flavored yogurt? I have a great local cacao sheep's milk greek yogourt and curious how it would go in this recipe for a twist...
I tried with cinnamon, with vanilla, but I prefer using the recipe only adding less salt.
