Description
Soft, tender Norwegian-style waffles that are lightly sweet and traditionally cooked in heart-shaped waffle irons. These waffles are perfect for breakfast or a cozy coffee break, offering a delicate texture and a subtle vanilla flavor that pairs wonderfully with jam and sour cream.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening and flavor.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, being careful not to overmix to maintain the batter’s tenderness.
- Preheat waffle iron: Heat your heart-shaped waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook waffles: Pour enough batter onto the preheated waffle iron to just cover the heart-shaped grids. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and set, usually about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
- Serve warm: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately, traditionally accompanied by jam and sour cream for an authentic Norwegian experience.
Notes
- Traditionally served with jam and sour cream to complement the mild sweetness of the waffles.
- Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes before cooking to improve texture and waffle crispness.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron each time before adding batter to ensure easy removal.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the waffles tender and soft.
