Norwegian Recipes

 

A per request from a visitor to the House of Norway earlier this year, we were asked for the recipe for "franske vafler". We were initially not able to provide the recipe, but we believe that it's the same as "tørre vafler" in Norwegian. Therefore, by consensus, we offer the following translations. Please let us know if you have comments or additions:

Norwegian Dry Waffles I
(TØRRE VAFLER)

2 cups sour cream

4 eggs

½ cup sugar

200 grams butter

Lemon

2 teaspoons cardamom

2 teaspoons baking soda

flour

2 kopper sur rømme

4 egg

½ kopp sukker

200 g smør

sitron

2 ts kardemomme

2 ss hjortesalt

hvetemel

Mix sour cream, eggs, and sugar. Crumble the butter into the flour and add the cardamom and baking soda. Mix everything carefully, and knead lightly. Add flour until the dough can be baked. Bland rømme, egg og sukker. Smuldre smøret i melet og ha i kardemomme og hjortesalt. Bland alt forsiktig sammen, elt lite. Ha i mel til deigen kan bakes ut.

Norwegian Dry Waffles II
(TØRRE VAFLER)

500 grams potato flour

250 g sugar

250 g butter

4 eggs

3 teaspoons baking powder

Melted butter for the waffle iron

500 g potetmel

250 g sukker

250 g smør

4 egg

3 ts bakepulver

smeltet smør til jernet

Mix egg yokes and sugar well

Add melted, cooled butter and flour mixed with baking powder.

Whip the egg whites and add them carefully.

Warm the waffle iron, and make the waffles, butter the waffle iron between making each plate.

Cool the waffles on a cooling grid before storing them snugly in a box.

Visp eggedosis av eggeplommer og sukker.

Tilsett smeltet, avkjølt smør og mel blandet med bakepulver.

Stivpisk eggehvitene og vend dem forsiktig inn til slutt.

Varm vaffeljernet og stek vaflene, smør jernet mellom hver stekeomgang.

Avkjøl vaflene helt på rist før du legger dem i tett boks.

These are not the type of waffles that we often serve at the House of Norway. Dry waffles are not usually served hot from the waffle iron with steaming aroma filling the air as guest partake of the delicacies. But they are delicious also. Enjoy!
