How simple is this Norwegian Waffle recipe?

These Norwegian waffles require no special equipment. All it takes is a bowl and a whisk. Not madly beating egg whites to stiff peaks or waiting around for the batter to take a “rest”. Just get straight into it and share them with someone who will thank you for it!

It might take a couple of times to get the correct amount of mixture for each waffle – it did for me.

Stack up your waffles and bring them to the table with your choice of toppings.

These Norwegian waffles are traditionally topped with sour cream and fruit or jam. Nothing wrong with ice cream and syrup, though!

2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt
1/2 cup castor sugar
1 teaspoons freshly ground cardamom or more to taste
4 large eggs
2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron
On a sheet of baking paper sift flour, baking soda, salt, castor sugar and cardamom.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
Pick up the paper on top opposite sides, pour into the egg mixture and whisk gently until just combined.
