When made on a Scandinavian heart-shaped waffle iron, cardamom "vafler" are truly an expression of love. Very easy and yummy recipe! I used Heart Waffle Maker, 5 Belgian Waffle Iron, Adjustable Browning Control, Cool Touch Handle, Compact and Easy to Clean, Perfect for Mother's Day Gifts (you can get it on Amazon.com Here)
I love waffles of all kinds, but the addition of cardamom (amazon.com) put these over the top. That slightly sweet, smoky taste really pairs well with maple syrup and any kind of jam. Now I need a heart-shaped waffle iron to make them as pretty as the picture!
INGREDIENTS (print the recipe card below)
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 tsp. freshly ground cardamom
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 cup melted butter
PREPARATION
Whisk together eggs, milk, and cardamom. Stir in sugar, flour, and baking powder until batter is well-combined. Stir in melted butter. If possible, allow batter to cool in refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
Lightly grease heart-shaped waffle iron. Drop batter in heaping tablespoons on iron, spreading with a knife into every crevice. Close iron and bake.
Serve with lingonberry jam. Waffles can be frozen and
reheated.
