NORWEGIAN WAFFLE RECIPE

NORWEGIAN WAFFLE RECIPE

NORWEGIAN WAFFLE RECIPE – Waffles are a Norwegian tradition. Unlike the Belgium waffles, Norwegian waffles are large, soft and fluffy, and fit perfectly folded in your hand. Soured milk is a usual ingredient, however, it can be replaced by fresh milk. The toppings are simple but yummy: slices of Norwegian brown cheese, a spread of sour cream and jam, or just a sprinkling of sugar. Below are some of the more common Norwegian waffle recipes:
