Description
Soft, heart-shaped Norwegian waffles infused with a subtle hint of cardamom and vanilla. These waffles are lighter and sweeter than classic Belgian waffles, making them perfect for breakfast or brunch when served with jam, fresh berries, or tangy sour cream.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cardamom (optional but traditional)
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1¾ cups milk or buttermilk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle iron and let it heat up thoroughly to ensure even cooking and crisp waffles.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk or buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, being careful not to overmix.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron if necessary. Pour a portion of batter onto the hot waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
- Serve: Remove waffles carefully and serve immediately with your choice of jam, fresh berries, or sour cream. Optionally, roll them with jam inside for a traditional serving style.
Notes
- Ground cardamom is optional but adds an authentic Scandinavian flavor to the waffles.
- These waffles can be served rolled with jam inside for a delightful variation.
- Use buttermilk instead of milk for a richer flavor and more tender texture.
