These Norwegian waffles, or heart waffles, are deliciously buttery and soft and when fresh they have a delectable crisp exterior, perfect with sour cream and strawberry jam!
How we eat waffles
So, Norwegians don't really eat waffles for breakfast. You can of course, I won't judge. It's more like a mid-day coffee treat like a coffee cake. Not quite dessert, but not quite breakfast either, you know?
It is also a very popular treat on kids' sporting events, large conferences and pretty much anything in-between.
Have you heard the term "dugnad" before? It can be confusing for foreigners to understand the concept, but it's common if you live for example in an apartment building to have a day of the month or year or whatever where everyone in the building helps out on a communal thing.
It can be gardening, cleaning, or other random stuff. But it's also common that parents have dugnad to raise money for their kids' school trips, sport teams or something like it.
And what do we do on these dugnad days? Some always serve waffles! And coffee, got to have that coffee too.
Ingredients
Pantry staples are all you need to make these delicious treats!
· All purpose flour: It wouldn't be the same with oats or whole wheat, making it a denser waffle. However, I guess it would be a good substitute for a healthier choice. That being said, if that is the case I would rather make these whole wheat lemon ricotta pancakes.
· Baking powder: Gives the waffles a delicious rise and a beautiful browning.
· Butter: isn't butter just the best thing? The flavor is impeccable, but if you don't have it you can use a neutral oil instead, that will make them lighter and airier.
· Milk: I use 1% fat, but you can use whatever you have. If you decide to use plant milk, remember that that will alter the flavor of the waffles.
· Eggs: provide tenderness and structure. Not easy to substitute for a vegan option, I'm afraid. You can try flax eggs, but I have not tried this.
· Sugar: with eggs give the structure, but also of course the sweetness of the dessert. If you want more of a caramely flavor, you can use brown sugar.
· Vanilla: either pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean powder for that extra flavor profile. Can be omitted if you want!
