Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 300 milliliters whole milk
- 100 grams sour cream
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cardamom, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the eggs. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth and slightly thick. Set the batter aside to rest for 5–10 minutes while you preheat your waffle iron.
Step 4
Preheat a Norwegian-style heart-shaped waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or non-stick cooking spray if necessary.
Step 5
Pour a ladle-full of batter (about 1/4–1/3 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron) into the center of the waffle iron. Close the iron and cook for 2–4 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Step 7
Serve the waffles warm with your choice of toppings: lingonberry jam, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
