Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined to ensure an even distribution of leavening agents and flavor.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing well to create a smooth liquid base for the batter.
- Combine Both Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring continuously until the batter is smooth with no lumps, taking care not to overmix to maintain lightness.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to fully heat up. Lightly grease the plates if necessary to prevent sticking and to help achieve a golden crust.
- Cook Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, usually about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
- Remove and Repeat: Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron using a fork or tongs to keep the shape intact. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve the waffles warm with your choice of traditional toppings such as strawberry jam, whipped cream, sour cream, or brown cheese for an authentic Norwegian experience.
Notes
- Traditional Norwegian waffles are often served with strawberry jam or brown cheese for an authentic taste.
- The batter can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before cooking, allowing for easy meal prep ahead of time.
