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!

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.
