Norwegian Waffles (Vafler)

Waffles are an essential Norwegian tradition. Not a week goes by in a Norwegian home without a waffle being eaten. Unlike the Belgium waffles, Norwegian waffles are large, soft and fluffy and fit perfectly folded in your hand.

Makes 5 large waffles

Ingredients

  • 400 millilitres (or other non-dairy milk)

  • 1 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar

  • 75 millilitres sunflower oil or other neutral oil

  • 50 grams sugar

  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom

  • pinch of salt

  • 100 grams all-purpose flour

Method

  1. Whip milk and oil together in a bowl, and leave to rest for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. 

  2. Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Leave to rest for minimum 5 minutes. You can also leave it in the fridge overnight. 

  3. Fry away. Tip: put some oil or margarine in the iron to avoid sticking. 

To serve

  • Serve With hot jam or sugar - tuck in and not (enjoy!)
