Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 300 milliliters Whole milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 100 grams Butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cardamom, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking as you go, until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Preheat a Norwegian waffle iron (heart-shaped) and lightly grease it with non-stick spray or a little melted butter.
Once the waffle iron is hot, pour enough batter onto the center (approximately 1/3 cup depending on size) and close the lid.
Cook the waffle for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a spatula once done.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as necessary between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, jam, fresh berries, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
