Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Serves: 5 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 cups (256g) plain flour, sifted
  • 4 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups (360ml) low-fat yoghurt
  • ½ cup (115 ml) of milk
  • ⅓ cup (76g) melted butter
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl until evenly combined.
  2. Beat eggs in a separate bowl and add yoghurt, milk, melted butter and vanilla essence together in a separate bowl. Whisk to combine.
  3. Slowly add yoghurt mixture to the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Preheat a waffle iron/ waffle machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Pour enough batter into the preheated waffle iron to cover the waffle iron completely and cook according to manufacturer's instructions. (For my Vitantonio Multi Waffle Baker, I cook each waffle for 6 minutes.)
  6. Tip: Flip the waffle over on the plate for serving as the underside cooks much more nicely and looks more picture perfect!
  7. Serve dressed with your favourite toppings!
Notes
1. This recipe makes 5 double square waffles.
2. Instead of yoghurt and milk mixture, you can use 2 cups (475 ml) of buttermilk instead. I do find buttermilk slightly runnier and therefore sometimes less crispy. (But mostly still good!)
3. Do not use milk curdled with vinegar/lemon juice as a substitute for the yoghurt and milk mixture. The batter made with this is too thin to crisp nicely.
4. While preparing each waffle, if they are not being devoured straight from the waffle maker like they are at my house, you can keep waffles warm in the oven. Place a cooling rack on a cookie sheet into the oven (middle rack) and heat oven to 100°C. As each waffle is cooked, transfer onto the cooling rack in a single layer to keep warm till all waffles are ready for eating!
