Use Yogurt rather than milk. Adds a wonderful flavour to the waffles.

Recipe type: Waffle
Serves: Two or Four 8" Waffles
Ingredients
2 Cups Batter
1 cup (125 g) All-Purpose Flour
1 TBSP (15 g) Granulated Sugar (omit for sweetened yogurt)
1 tsp (5 g) Baking Powder
½ tsp (4 g) Baking Soda
¼ tsp (2 g) Sea Salt
1¼ cup (300 g) yogurt
1 (50 g) Egg
3 TBSP (45 g) Unsalted Butter, melted OR Sunflower Oil
½ tsp (3 g) Vanilla extract (optional)
For waffle maker surface Non-stick Spray or vegetable oil
4 Cups Batter
2 cups (250 g) All-Purpose Flour
2 TBSP (25 g) Granulated Sugar (omit for sweetened yogurt)
2 tsp (10 g) Baking Powder
1 tsp (7 g) Baking Soda
½ tsp (3 g) Sea Salt
2½ cups (600 g) Yogurt
2 (100 g) Eggs
6 TBSP (85 g) Unsalted Butter, melted OR Sunflower Oil
1 tsp (5 g) Vanilla extract (optional)
For waffle maker surface Non-stick Spray or vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat waffle iron
In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients
In a medium sized bowl combine all wet ingredients and whisk.
Thin yogurt with milk if stiff like Greek Yogurt (1 cup yogurt to ¼ cup milk)
Using a separate bowl for wet mixture then adding to the dry mixture results in less clumps
Add wet ingredients to dry and whisk. Do NOT whisk again later. You will flatten the batter.
Bake a waffle
Use non-stick spray or brush some oil on waffle iron plates
For an 8” round iron, pour 1 cup of batter in centre. The amount depends on your waffle maker size. The instructions will usually say how much to use.
Bake for about 5 min. Time and temp effect how a waffle bakes. Higher temp uses lower time. The shorter the time the bigger the difference between crust and inside softness. Do not open early to check as this will tear the waffle. If waffle too dark, lower temperature setting. Auto waffle makers will beep when waffle is done.
Remove the waffle by gently loosening the edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula, wooden spatula or non-stick coated tongs.
Serve immediately or place in a 200F (90C) oven to keep them warm.
Variations
Thin yogurt with milk or juice. Greek Yogurt is stiff. I thin mine with ¾ cup Greek to ½ cup milk. Drinkable yogurt is thin but has added sugar so I omit the sugar in the recipe.
