Norwegian Waffles Recipe: Fluffy Sour Cream & Cardamom

Norwegian Waffles or Pancakes

• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom or ground ginger (I prefer Cardamom)

• 1 cup sifted plain flour

• 5 large eggs

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1 cup sour cream

• 1/2 stick butter (2 oz - 63 g.) melted and cooled (I leave this out)

• jam or fruit butter to serve with the waffles

Step 1 - In a bowl stir together the cardamom and the flour.

Step 2 - In another bowl with an electric mixer beat the eggs with the sugar for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and pale.

Step 3 - Using a spatula stir half the flour mixture into the egg mixture, stir in half the sour cream, and stir in the remaining flour and sour cream. Do not obliterate the sour cream, try to leave lumps of sour cream, they'll burst lusciously in your mouth as you eat it.

Step 4 - Stir in the butter and let batter stand for 10 minutes.

Step 5 - Either cook in waffle maker or cook in frypan in small pancake sizes.
