 Vaffler og Frukt/Fruit Want to make Norwegian waffles? (vaffler in Norwegian)
The Norwegians do not serve vaffler for breakfast, but seve them as a type of dessert, however they are not usually served as a dessert after dinner, only with coffee other times of the day.
They are good with strawberriy, blueberry or raspberry jam (syltetoy) or jelly (sjele in Norwegian).
 Serving Norwegian Vaffler
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (100 gram) butter
4 eggs
4-5 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
2-1/2 to 3 cups flour to make a thick batter
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/2 cups (3 deciliter) milk or buttermilk
1 cup (2 deciliter) water
1 teaspoon vanilla extrac/vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Combine dry ingredients.
Add melted butter to milk.
Gradually add dry ingredients to liquid while stirring until you have a smooth consistency. If the batter is too thick add a small amount of cold water.
Spoon batter onto heated iron and bake until light golden.
Prevent sticking, by spraying iron with cookinbg spray.
In Norway, we use a special, heart-shaped, electric iron (left) to make traditional Norske Vaffler.
To serve, use food scissors to cut around each heart; spread butter and arrange them on a pretty serving plate and place a bowl of fruit or berry preserves on the
table and enjoy. Yummy! Batter placed in iron (above)
Norwegian waffles are also tasty with thinly sliced Norsk Brunost, a type of sweet goat cheese (gjeitost or low fat mysost, Gudbrandsdalsost), all of them are called brunost.
