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.
Delicious. I halved the recipe for two of us, used half whole wheat flour, added finely chopped toasted pecans. I use buttermilk powder mixed with dry ingredients and add the water to the wet. Great way to use buttermilk without having to buy a whole quart. Also sprinkled a few blueberries after I put it in the waffle iron
My first try to make waffles and followed the recipe loosely but included all the ingredients, no substitutions. It was just perfect!
I made these waffles for an impromptu backyard ladies brunch. I tripled the recipe. They ate them ALL. They ate them without syrup or toppings . They took them home in containers for their husbands. Admittedly I have a fantastic Allclad waffle iron - but these were buttery and fluffy and each one perfectly golden. I am making them again this weekend so that I can have a couple for myself.
