Kardemummavohvelit – Cardamom Waffles
Another Wednesday, another waffle recipe! As most people familiar with Nordic baking, we like to use cardamom in our baked goods. Pulla, kanelbullar, boller, all cardamom goodness. Well, here is a waffle recipe to add to the cardamom rotation!
As I have mentioned in previous waffle entries, please keep in mind that for Finnish waffles, or Scandinavian waffles in general, you will need a heart waffle maker. The biggest difference here isn’t that they’re heart shaped, but they are also a lot thinner than the usual American/Belgian waffles. A waffle maker like this would be perfect, and let’s you cook two at the time!
