Norweigen Waffles: The Good Enough To Eat Breakfast Cookbook

Breakfast is a staple meal for us. We love weekends with big breakfasts or Tuesday night pancake nights. For this recipe you need a couple of ingredients you may not have on hand but will be worth the purchase.

Cardamom reminds me of pine needles. I about died when I saw how much this spice was but this is only my 2nd jar in my life time. I use it sparingly but what a wonderful addition.

Shredded Granny Smith apples. I never have Granny Smith on hand because the girls won't eat them but what a great texture they add to these waffles.

Whipping up the egg whites makes for a very tender waffle.

Cutting in the butter with a figure 8 motion just until blended.

Brush butter on your griddle so these will not stick.
