# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

03 - In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt creates the fluffiest interior while keeping the edges perfectly crisp
  • Each waffle packs 11 grams of protein, so you stay satisfied until lunch
  • The tangy yogurt balances the sweetness, making them irresistible plain or dressed up
02 -
  • Overmixing develops gluten and makes waffles tough—stop as soon as flour disappears
  • Letting the batter rest 5 minutes before cooking improves texture significantly
03 -
  • Separate the eggs and fold in whipped whites for restaurant style height
  • The batter keeps in the refrigerator for up to two days if you want to prep ahead
