100 g (1/2 cups) butter
4 dl (1 2/3 cups) flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 dl (1/3 cup + 1/5 cup, together) milk (cold)

butter for greasing the iron
berries or jam and whipped cream for serving

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option with a similar texture.

whipped cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: whipped topping

Greek yogurt adds protein and reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

fresh berries

🥗Healthier: frozen berries

💰Cheaper: canned fruit

Frozen berries are often more affordable and can be used year-round.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: corn syrup

Honey offers a natural sweetener with a unique flavor.

1

Melt the butter and let it cool.

2

Sift the flour into a bowl. Add baking powder, salt, and sugar. Blend them with a wooden spoon or spatula.

3

Add the melted butter, milk, and cream to the bowl. Stir with the spoon or spatula.

4

Add the sparkling water and stir in. Don’t mix too well or whisk — you want the batter to be just blended.

5

Check that the batter is the consistency you want it, or add a bit more flour or water as needed.

6

Heat the waffle iron well. Grease it (both sides!) and add batter to bake your first waffle. Use about 1 dl (a bit more than 1/3 cup).

7

Electric irons will let you know when the waffle is done. If you have an old-school iron, check on it after a couple of minutes and flip it.

8

Place the waffle on a cooling rack. Ideally, don’t stack them, but serve soon after baking.
