Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
• 300 milliliters Whole milk
• 3 large Eggs
• 100 grams Butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cardamom, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking as you go, until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 4

Preheat a Norwegian waffle iron (heart-shaped) and lightly grease it with non-stick spray or a little melted butter.

Step 5

Once the waffle iron is hot, pour enough batter onto the center (approximately 1/3 cup depending on size) and close the lid.

Step 6

Cook the waffle for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a spatula once done.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as necessary between batches.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, jam, fresh berries, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
