Grandma Maes Norwegian Waffles Recipe 415

BEBA'S NORWEGIAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, sugar and butter (I use my Kitchen Aid).
• Add vanilla, cardamom, baking powder, salt and milk and mix.
• Thicken gradually with flour.
• Cook in waffle iron until golden brown. The waffle iron that should be used is one that makes thin, heart shaped waffles, like the Villaware heart waffle maker. However, you could probably use anything that's not a Belgian waffle maker.

GRANDMA'S NORWEGIAN OATMEAL WAFFLES

Steps:

• 1. Heat the milk until scalded, then pour it over the rolled oats in a medium-size bowl. Cool for about 30 minutes.
• 2. Mix in the egg yolks, melted butter, flour, baking powder, and salt.
• 3. Beat the egg whites until stiff, and fold into the batter.
• 4. Make the waffles following the directions for your waffle iron. Butter the waffle iron thoroughly, since these waffles are very tender and have a tendency to stick.
• 5. Serve warm.
• 6. The traditional accompaniments are butter and homemade jams; butter and maple syrup; and yogurt, maple syrup, and fresh fruit.
• 7. VARIATION: GRANDMA'S OATMEAL PANCAKES Make the batter exactly as for waffles. Fry the pancakes in butter in a large frying pan, flipping once.
• 8. Makes 4 waffles or 12 pancakes.
