Mamsen's Waffles

Breakfast Serves 4 – 6 people Norway

Mamsen’s, the popular Norwegian-style deli on board our Viking ships, is well-loved for its traditional Scandinavian fare, and the waffles (based on my grandmother’s recipes) are legendary. Serve with jam or Norwegian brown goat’s cheese, or both, and savor a flavor of authentic Norway.


INGREDIENTS:

8.8 oz (250g) all-purpose (plain) flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 eggs
10 fl oz (300ml) milk
3 oz (90g) butter
Pinch ground cardamom
½ tsp vanilla extract


Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, eggs and milk to make a smooth batter.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter, then whisk into the batter along with the cardamom and vanilla.

Step 3

Cook with a Norwegian waffle iron or lightly oil a grill pan, heat to medium and cook 4-5 tablespoons of the mixture per waffle. Cook the waffle until bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip over and cook until both sides have turned golden brown.
