# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The protein from the yogurt keeps you satisfied for hours without that heavy waffle crash
- They crisp up beautifully outside while staying tender inside, thanks to the yogurt's moisture
02 -
- Overmixed batter creates tough, rubbery waffles, so stop mixing the moment the flour disappears
- Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking gives the flour time to hydrate and makes fluffier results
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients blend more easily and create a smoother batter
- Separating the eggs and whipping the whites separately creates extra fluffy waffles if you want to impress someone
