Vöfflur með kardimommur

Waffles with cardamom


This waffle recipe comes from an old Icelandic cookbook. I was particularly happy about the pinch of cardamom in the ingredients list - a pinch of Scandinavia in this recipe, so to speak. “In Scandinavia, cardamom is a typical ingredient in sweet baked goods,” Wikipedia already knows.


Ingredients

2 eggs
85 g margarine
1 Tbsp sugar
250 g flour
1 pinch of cardamom
150 ml milk
100 ml whipping cream

Grease for the waffle iron

Powdered sugar for sprinkling


Preparation

Separate the eggs.

In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and margarine until fluffy.


Add flour, cardamom, milk and whipping cream and mix everything into a smooth dough.


To top it off, beat the egg white until stiff and fold it into the dough.


Grease the waffle iron, let it get hot and then bake the dough in portions in the waffle iron.


Finally, sprinkle the waffles with powdered sugar and serve warm if possible.


Traditionally, people in Iceland eat their waffles with whipped cream and jam.
