# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The Greek yogurt makes these waffles somehow both fluffy and substantial, not like those airy ones that leave you hungry an hour later
- They freeze beautifully so you can make a double batch and pretend you have your life together on weekday mornings
02 -
- Overmixed batter makes tough waffles, so stir less than you think you need to
- Every waffle iron is different, so check your first batch after 3 minutes and adjust from there
03 -
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes if you have time, it makes the waffles even lighter
- Separate the eggs and whip the whites if you want restaurant-style extra fluffy waffles
