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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Preheat waffle iron: Heat your heart-shaped waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
