Making Norwegian waffles will make your home smell amazing – the scent of cardamom spice will fill your kitchen! Serving these waffles is extra fun, as people seem to devour them wherever I’ve taken them (kids especially love them!)
My grandma made these waffles for special get-togethers, and we devoured them. These waffles are rich and pretty sweet, so they really don’t need syrup or a topping (although some might still want some).
We make them with a Norwegian waffle iron, which will make your waffles into little heart shapes. In the video here, I show that you really do not need a special Norwegian waffle iron to make these. (I would not recommend using a Belgian waffle iron, however – though you could try it!)
One thing that I think is a must to include: cardamom. This spice is more expensive, but I have found that a bottle of this spice will last a good amount of time, and it really gives these waffles a wonderful flavor. Some might wish to use whole cardamom seeds and grind them up fresh, which would likely be more cost-effective as well.

- Add a pinch of salt.
- Add melted butter, and mix together.
- Gently stir in your sour cream/yogurt into the large bowl.
- Heat up your waffle iron and grease it with butter.
