A Brief History
Waffles have a rich history, being considered a traditional dish in many cultures. Initially prepared in metal molds, they have evolved over time, becoming a symbol of breakfast in many countries. These fluffy yogurt waffles are a modern reinterpretation, adding moisture and a slightly airy texture.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1/2 cup of plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup of sparkling water
- 1/2 cup of Muller milk with pistachio and coconut (or any preferred milk)
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- A little butter for greasing
- Raspberry syrup for decoration (or any preferred syrup)
Ingredient Details
- Yogurt: Choose a plain, natural yogurt to keep the recipe healthy. Yogurt adds not only moisture but also a creamy taste.
- Milk: Muller milk with pistachio and coconut offers a unique flavor, but you can also opt for regular milk or plant-based milk for a lactose-free option.
- Flour: You can experiment with whole wheat flour or almond flour for a different taste and varied texture.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the utensils: Start by preparing your sandwich maker. Grease the mold with a thin layer of butter, ensuring it is well covered to prevent sticking.
2. Beat the egg: In a bowl, beat the egg well with a fork or a hand mixer. Add the two tablespoons of sugar and continue mixing until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly frothy.
3. Add the yogurt: Gradually incorporate the yogurt, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
4. Mixing the liquids: In another bowl, combine the sparkling water with the milk. Add the liquid mixture to the bowl with the egg and yogurt, continuing to mix well.
5. Incorporating the dry ingredients: Sift the flour and baking powder into a separate bowl, then gradually add them to the wet mixture. Use a spatula or whisk to gently mix until there are no lumps. Be careful not to overmix to keep the fluffy texture.
6. Baking the waffles: Pour the mixture into the preheated and greased sandwich maker. Close it and let it bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. You can check if they are done by carefully opening the sandwich maker.
7. Flipping the waffles: Once the first side is baked, unplug the sandwich maker and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Grease with a little more butter and flip the waffles over. Return them to the machine and bake for another 5-7 minutes.
8. Serving: Once ready, carefully remove them and cut them into triangles. Serve warm, decorated with raspberry syrup and possibly some fresh fruit or whipped cream for an extra flavor boost.
Practical Tips
- For an extra flavor: You can add a few drops of vanilla essence or lemon zest to the batter for a fresh note.
- Variations: Experiment with additions of chocolate, nuts, or dried fruits. The waffles can be adapted according to your preferences.
- Toppings: Besides raspberry syrup, you can use honey, fruit jam, or even ice cream for a more decadent option.

The sandwich maker is greased with butter and heated. The fluffy mixture is made as follows: the egg beaten well with 2 tablespoons of sugar is gradually mixed with yogurt and then with half a cup of sparkling water and half Muller milk with pistachio and coconut. Then, the flour mixed with baking powder is gently incorporated in a rain-like manner. It is poured into the greased and heated mold and left to bake on one side. After that, we unplug it, let it cool a bit, and then flip it to the other side, not before greasing it a little with butter again, then we put it back in and let it bake on this side too. Finally, we take it out and cut it into triangles, decorate them with raspberry syrup, and it's ready! Something delicious and fluffy!
