World's Best Norwegian Sweet Waffles - Vafler

I'm a bit of a waffle snob. I won't eat Belgian (really thick and crispy) and I don't like Eggos. I like my waffles sweet, soft and fluffy and heart shaped. Norwegian style.


My friend Darlene received this delicious recipe from her Norwegian born mother-in-law. The key ingredient? No baking powder or soda. No yeast. Just 9 whipped egg whites.


Then there's the sweetness. Like a cup and a half. Enough sugar to make your kid zip around the house frantically, way too much for a diabetic and so much that you won't reach for syrup or jam or lingonberry or whipped cream or Nutella.


Think heart shaped, fluffy pound cake. I have searched the web and have not seen a recipe like this.

Be patient. It will take 45 minutes to prep and cook all 20 waffles. For me it takes 10 minutes cuz I have four irons. See, I am waffle obsessed.

World's Best Norwegian Sweet Waffles
9 eggs
1.5 c sugar
1 stick melted butter
3 c flour (gluten free flour works too)
2 c milk
1 tablespoon vanilla sukker (vanilla sugar, available at Scandinavian specialty shops) or pure vanilla extract


Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes 
Yields: 20 waffles 

Turn on your waffle iron. Preferably heart shaped or a classic one. Don't use a Belgian waffle maker as your waffles will come out crispy and not fluffy.


Separate the egg whites and beat to stiff peaks and set aside. Mix the yolks with the remaining ingredients. Once batter is mixed, fold in the egg whites lightly. Butter your iron and add an ice cream scoop of batter to the iron. Put on your favorite Pandora station. This could take you another 30 minutes to make your stack of vaflers. 

Serve immediately with butter and jam or just pop them in your mouth. Refrigerate or freeze left overs and reheat in a waffle iron or a toaster.
