Preparation
- Have all the ingredients at room temperature. Preheat an oven to 200°F. Preheat a Belgian waffle maker.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Whisk in the buttermilk, butter and vanilla.
- Over a sheet of waxed paper, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Add the flour mixture to the yolk mixture and whisk until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold half of the egg whites into the batter, then fold in the remaining whites.
- Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the fruit, turning once, until tender and nicely grill-marked, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and drizzle with honey.
- Place 2 waffle squares on each plate and top with the grilled fruit and yogurt, dividing evenly.
