Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking them until fully blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter becomes smooth without overmixing.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions and lightly grease it if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly, and cook until the waffles turn golden brown and are cooked through, usually a few minutes per waffle.
- Remove and Repeat: Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve the waffles warm with your choice of toppings such as strawberry jam, whipped cream, sour cream, or the traditional Norwegian brown cheese.
Notes
