Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together until smooth.

- Adjust the amount of flour to achieve desired thickness.
- Cook the waffles in a waffle iron until golden and crispy.
- Serve cold with cranberries stirred into sugar and vanilla sugar, topped with whipped sour cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, separate the eggs and whip the egg whites before folding them into the batter. If you don’t have vanilla sugar, you can substitute with regular sugar and a splash of vanilla extract. For a richer flavor, consider using buttermilk instead of sour cream. Adjust flour based on humidity; the batter should be thick but pourable.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Norske Vafler with a side of whipped sour cream mixed with vanilla sugar for a delightful treat. They also pair beautifully with cranberries stirred into sugar, adding a tart contrast. For an extra indulgence, consider drizzling with Vanilla Or Amaretto Custard Sauce for a creamy finish.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and refrigerate it. Just be sure to let it come to room temperature before cooking, as this helps achieve the best texture. However, avoid making it too far ahead to maintain freshness.
What can I use instead of sour cream?
If you don't have sour cream, Greek yogurt is a great substitute that offers a similar tanginess and creaminess. Alternatively, you can mix regular yogurt with a bit of lemon juice to mimic the flavor.
Can I freeze the waffles?
Absolutely! Cool the waffles completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag, and they can be stored for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen using a toaster or oven.
