TRADITIONAL VAFLER, NORWEGIAN CARDAMOM WAFFLES
From "Cooking the Norwegian Way", the only changes I made was to use plain yogurt instead of sour cream, I left butter the way it was though I use Earth Balance. You can also try subbing half the flour for whole-wheat flour or just use whole-wheat pastry flour to get flakier waffles. Norwegian waffle irons also make heart-shaped waffles! My Powerpuff Girls waffle iron makes cool swirly-shape ones.

VAFLER (NORWEGIAN WAFFLES)
Steps:
- Mix eggs, sugar, and cardamom together in a big bowl. Add in flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix these ingredients and beat in sour cream and butter until the batter is smooth. Let the batter sit for about 20 minutes before you being making the waffles. Heat up the iron and brush some of the butter of the surface, you are now ready to make waffles. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter in the iron and wait for the waffle to become light brown. Take it out (watch out, it's hot!) and serve it warm. You can put jam, whipped cream, or sour cream on top. Try different toppings or make a waffle sandwich.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using real butter, eggs, and milk. Avoid using margarine or other substitutes.
- Make sure the waffle iron is hot before you start cooking. This will help the waffles cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Don't overfill the waffle iron. This will also cause the waffles to cook unevenly and may make them difficult to flip.
- Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will ensure that they are cooked through and golden brown.
- Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. This could include butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Norwegian waffles are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be topped with a variety of different ingredients. Whether you like them simple or loaded with toppings, Norwegian waffles are sure to please.
