Light, crisp, and faintly sweet with a hint of cardamom — Norwegian waffles 🧇 are nothing like the thick American kind. They’re traditionally cooked in a heart-shaped iron, served with sour cream and strawberry jam, and eaten at any time of day. This is our go-to recipe, and it’s simpler than you think.
Ingredients: 3½ tbsp butter 🧈 (melted) · 2 eggs 🥚 · ¼ cup sugar · 2½ cups milk 🥛· 2 cups flour · ¼ tsp salt 🧂· 1 tsp cardamom · 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions: Melt butter. Whisk eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Add half the milk, then all the flour, salt, cardamom, and baking powder — whisk smooth. Add the rest of the milk and the butter, whisk again. Rest batter 30 minutes if you can. Brush waffle iron with butter each time, add a full dipper of batter, cook until light golden.
💚Kitchen à la Mode tip: Make the batter extra runny — much thinner than American or Belgian waffle batter. That’s the secret to getting that delicate, crispy texture.
