Norwegian Heart Waffles

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 3 eggs
• 1¾ cups milk
• ⅓ cup sugar
• ½ cup melted butter
• 1 tsp ground cardamom — the Nordic signature
• ½ tsp baking powder
• Sour cream and berry jam, to serve

Method

1. Whisk everything into a smooth, pourable batter; rest 20 minutes — Norwegian waffles are patient waffles.
2. Cook in a waffle iron (heart-shaped if the universe provides) until golden but still SOFT — these are not crispy Belgians; they fold like thick crepes, by design.
3. Stack under a towel; softness compounds.
4. Serve the Norwegian way: folded around sour cream and jam, eaten from the hand.
5. Cardamom + sour cream + berries is the whole Nordic flavor thesis in one bite. Cabin food, church-basement food, after-ski food — always correct.
