Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
  5. Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes to activate the leavening agents.
  6. While the batter is resting, gather your desired toppings and prepare any additional accompaniments.
Cooking the Waffle
  1. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
  2. Pour a portion of the batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  3. Close the waffle iron and cook the waffle until golden brown and crisp, following the manufacturer's recommended cooking time.
  4. Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the iron and transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  5. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the iron before each new waffle.
  6. Keep the cooked waffles warm in a low-temperature oven while you finish cooking the rest.
Serving
  1. Place a cooked Norwegian Heart Waffles on a serving plate or individual plates.
  2. Add your desired toppings, such as maple syrup, fruit compote, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
  3. Serve the waffles warm, allowing everyone to customize their toppings to their preference.
  4. Enjoy the delicious Norwegian Heart Waffles with your family and friends!

Notes

Preheat the waffle iron properly to ensure even cooking.
Use a ladle or measuring cup to pour the batter onto the waffle iron for consistent portion sizes.
Spread the batter evenly using a spatula to achieve a symmetrical heart shape.
Avoid opening the waffle iron too early to prevent the waffles from sticking or breaking.
Lightly grease the waffle iron before each batch to prevent sticking.
Adjust the cooking time as needed to achieve the desired level of crispiness.
