SCANDINAVIAN SWEETHEART WAFFLES



Scandinavian Sweetheart Waffles image

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.

BESTEMOR'S NORWEGIAN WAFFLES



Bestemor's Norwegian Waffles image

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.

BEBA'S NORWEGIAN WAFFLES



Beba's Norwegian Waffles image

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!

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter (I use salted)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cardamom
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 dash salt
3 cups whole milk
3 cups flour

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your waffles.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense waffles.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in lighter, fluffier waffles.
  • Use a hot waffle iron. This will help to create crispy, golden brown waffles.
  • Don't overcrowd the waffle iron. This will prevent the waffles from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the waffles immediately. Waffles are best when served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Bestmør's Norwegian waffles are a delicious and versatile breakfast treat. They can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. They can also be used to make sandwiches or wraps. No matter how you choose to serve them, Bestmør's Norwegian waffles are sure to be a hit.
