In America, waffles are eaten for breakfast, and the waffle irons are round or square with four sections. The usual toppings are butter and syrup. The vafler in Norway are served for dessert or as a treat in heart-shaped sections. They are much sweeter and softer than American waffles and are almost always homemade.

Mix eggs, sugar, and cardamom together in a big bowl. Add in flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix these ingredients and beat in sour cream and butter until the batter is smooth. Let the batter sit for about 20 minutes before you being making the waffles. Heat up the iron and brush some of the butter of the surface, you are now ready to make waffles. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter in the iron and wait for the waffle to become light brown. Take it out (watch out, it's hot!) and serve it warm. You can put jam, whipped cream, or sour cream on top. Try different toppings or make a waffle sandwich.
