The bebas norwegian waffles, also called “krumkake” are a traditional Norwegian waffle cookie that has been enjoyed for centuries. Its name comes from the Norwegian word “krum,” which means “curved,” and “kake,” which means “cake.” These crispy, delicate cookies are made from a simple batter of flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and cream, and are cooked in a special krumkake iron that gives them their distinctive curved shape. Bebas norwegian waffles are often served with whipped cream, jam, or fruit, and are a popular treat during the Christmas season. In this article, we will explore the history of bebas norwegian waffles, provide a step-by-step guide on how to make them, and offer some creative variations on this classic recipe.

SCANDINAVIAN SWEETHEART WAFFLES
Heart-shaped waffles are a traditional treat throughout Scandinavia, made crisp in Sweden and soft-textured in Norway. Topped with jam or berries and whipped cream, or wafer-thin slices of gjeitost (Norwegian brown goat cheese), they're a favorite with coffee or as a snack. This recipe is my adaptation of Norwegian-style waffles served by my friends Megan and Sverre in Trondheim, Norway.

- Place egg yolks into a large mixing bowl with the sugar, and beat until light and frothy. Mix in the vanilla sugar and water until evenly combined, and stir in half the melted butter, half the buttermilk, half the flour. When mixture is smooth, mix in remaining butter, buttermilk, flour, cardamom, and salt, and beat again to a smooth batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks; gently fold the egg whites into the batter, incorporating as much volume as possible.
- Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
- Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter into the preheated waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffle is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove waffle to a plate. If using a heart-shaped iron, break the waffle into individual hearts to serve. Repeat with remaining batter.

BEBA'S NORWEGIAN WAFFLES
This is my great-grandmother's waffle recipe. I think there are several floating around the family, but this is the one that my parents had. It makes a lot of waffles, so unless I'm cooking them for some sort of event of get together I often cut the recipe in half or save some of the batter in the refrigerator to make some fresh ones in the next day or two. We never eat Norwegian waffles like regular waffles. Sometimes we eat them in the morning, but usually they are made as a dessert or for when people come over for coffee, for a snack, etc. Also, we never eat them with syrup. They are always eaten with some combination of butter, sugar and jam (raspberry, lingonberry). Usually I just eat them plain. At my husband's request, I use 1 tsp. cardamom as well as 1 tsp. vanilla, but you could use only the cardamom or only the vanilla if you have no cardamom. I never make them without cardamom- I think that's the best part! *the servings number listed is a guess- I've never counted! I'll have to update it. The cooking time is also a guess because it depends on your waffle maker. I guessed 30 minutes if you made all of the waffles. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Whisk eggs, sugar and butter (I use my Kitchen Aid).
- Add vanilla, cardamom, baking powder, salt and milk and mix.
- Thicken gradually with flour.
- Cook in waffle iron until golden brown. The waffle iron that should be used is one that makes thin, heart shaped waffles, like the Villaware heart waffle maker. However, you could probably use anything that's not a Belgian waffle maker.
BESTEMOR'S NORWEGIAN WAFFLES
This recipe is not for the calorie conscience people. My Bestemor used to make these in a waffle maker that she would open with a pickle fork. We wouldn't DARE eat them with syrup (as they're sweet enough) however, we would eat them with home made strawberry jam. The aroma of cardamom is amazing. If I want to get my children out of bed - I simply make a batch of Bestemor's waffles.

Tips:
- Use a traditional Norwegian waffle iron for the most authentic results. If you don't have one, you can use a regular waffle iron, but the waffles may not be as crispy.
- Make sure your waffle iron is hot before you start cooking. This will help to ensure that the waffles cook evenly.
- Don't overfill the waffle iron. This will make the waffles thick and dense, rather than light and airy.
- Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crispy. This will give them the best flavor and texture.
- Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
- Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Norwegian waffles are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch food. They are easy to make and can be served with a variety of toppings. Whether you like them simple or dressed up, Norwegian waffles are sure to please everyone at the table.
