Start Christmas day with this Scandinavian breakfast – it’s so simple and it will wow your guests.
250g/9oz plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½-1 tsp ground cardamom (optional)
2-3 tbsp sugar
6 free-range eggs
250ml/8½fl oz cream (whipping or double)
250ml/8½fl oz milk
200g/7oz butter, melted and cooled
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cardamom and sugar. Add the eggs, cream, milk and butter and mix with a hand-mixer until it becomes a smooth, thick batter.
Let the batter rest for a minimum of 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge.
Preheat the waffle iron on a medium heat.
Put a medium ladleful of the batter mixture in the waffle iron, making sure not to overfill. Cook each waffle until golden-brown and cool on a rack so that they don’t steam up and get soggy.
