🛒 Ingredients

Tap ingredients to tick them off as you shop or cook ✔️

• 3 eggs
• 100g sugar
• 400ml whole milk (or half milk, half buttermilk)
• 300g plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cardamom, freshly ground
• ½ tsp salt
• 75g butter, melted and cooled
• To serve: brown cheese (brunost), sour cream, strawberry jam

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Grind the cardamom yourself from the pods. Pre-ground cardamom loses almost everything within weeks, and this batter is essentially flour, dairy and cardamom — there is nowhere for a weak spice to hide.
2. Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale, then alternate the milk and the dry ingredients, finishing with the melted butter.
3. Rest the batter 20 minutes. The flour hydrates and the waffles come out tender instead of rubbery.
4. Cook in a heart-shaped Norwegian waffle iron until golden. A Belgian iron makes something thicker and drier — these are meant to be thin, soft and foldable.
5. Slice the brown cheese with a cheese plane in thin sheets and lay it on while the waffle is hot so it half-melts. Thick slabs stay waxy and overwhelm it.
6. Sour cream and jam on top. This is afternoon coffee in Norway, on ferries, at cabins, and at every church bazaar in the country.
