Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional: ½ tsp ground cardamom (traditional)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup melted butter, slightly cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat a heart-shaped waffle iron following the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and optional ground cardamom to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the batter is just smooth. Avoid overmixing to keep waffles tender.
- Grease Waffle Iron: Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed to prevent sticking, using butter or a non-stick spray.
- Cook Waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the waffles are golden and soft.
- Serve Warm: Serve the waffles immediately with preferred toppings such as butter, jam, sour cream, or traditional brown cheese for an authentic experience.
Notes
- These waffles are traditionally soft rather than crispy.
- Resting the batter for 10 minutes before cooking can improve texture.
- Serve folded with jam and sour cream, or butter and powdered sugar for a classic presentation.
- Leftover waffles can be refrigerated and gently reheated without losing quality.
