Norwegian Waffles with Jam and Sour Cream
Thin, heart-shaped Norwegian waffles, often served as a treat or dessert, typically accompanied by sweet jam and a dollop of sour cream.
🧂 Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 3 cups Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Melted butter
- 1 tsp Cardamom (optional)
- as needed Jam (e.g., strawberry, raspberry)
- as needed Sour cream
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cardamom (if using).
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- 4
Heat a Norwegian waffle iron (or a standard waffle iron) according to manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease if necessary.
- 5
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook for 2-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The thin batter will spread out to create the characteristic heart shape.
- 6
Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked waffles on a wire rack to keep them crisp.
- 7
Serve warm, topped with your favorite jam and a dollop of sour cream.
💡 Pro Tips

- ✓Using a specialized heart-shaped Norwegian waffle iron will give you the most authentic presentation.
- ✓Cardamom is a common spice in Norwegian baking and adds a lovely aroma and flavor.
- ✓For crispier waffles, you can place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a warm oven (around 200°F/95°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
