NORWEGIAN WAFFLES RECIPE (HEART WAFFLES)

Steps:

• Melt the butter and let it cool while you prepare the rest.
• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and sugar together for a couple of minutes using a handheld mixer or stand mixer (high speed). You don't need that super white and fluffy consistency, just enough for a few air bubbles to appear.
• Add in the milk and pure vanilla extract and whisk until just combined. Reduce to low speed and then add in the baking powder (and vanilla bean powder if you use that) and a third of the flour. Slowly mix until you no longer see bits of flour, then add another third of the flour. Continue until all flour is used, but do not mix more than necessary.
• At the end, stir or slowly whisk in the melted butter. Let this mixture rest for 30 minutes to make the waffles fluffier and easier to make.
• Heat the waffle iron to the maximum heat setting and add butter or cooking spray. Once hot, add roughly 1/2 cup (125 milliliters) of batter and cook undisturbed for 1 1/2-2 minutes. Slowly open the lid and if the waffle sticks to both sides, close the lid and cook another 30 seconds. You may need to add butter to the iron between every 2nd or 3rd waffle.
• Serve with butter, strawberry jam and sour cream. Enjoy!

SCANDINAVIAN SWEETHEART WAFFLES

Steps:

• Place egg yolks into a large mixing bowl with the sugar, and beat until light and frothy. Mix in the vanilla sugar and water until evenly combined, and stir in half the melted butter, half the buttermilk, half the flour. When mixture is smooth, mix in remaining butter, buttermilk, flour, cardamom, and salt, and beat again to a smooth batter.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks; gently fold the egg whites into the batter, incorporating as much volume as possible.
• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
• Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter into the preheated waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffle is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove waffle to a plate. If using a heart-shaped iron, break the waffle into individual hearts to serve. Repeat with remaining batter.
