4.3 from 65 reviews

Soft, lightly sweet Norwegian waffles traditionally cooked in a heart-shaped waffle iron and served warm with butter, jam, or sour cream, perfect for a cozy Scandinavian breakfast.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6–8 waffles

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Grease: Preheat your heart-shaped waffle iron and lightly grease it using butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep waffles tender.
  5. Cook Waffles: Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron according to its instructions. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, typically about 3-5 minutes per waffle.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove waffles from the iron and serve immediately, topped with butter, jam, fresh berries, or sour cream as desired.

Notes

  • Norwegian waffles are traditionally softer and thinner than Belgian waffles.
  • Serve with classic toppings such as strawberry or raspberry jam, fresh berries, or a dollop of sour cream.
  • Best enjoyed fresh and warm for optimal texture.
  • To keep waffles warm while cooking the rest, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F or 90°C).
