Norwegian waffles are a popular breakfast dish in Norway and are often enjoyed during the winter months. They are traditionally served with sour cream and jam, but can be topped with a variety of sweet or savory toppings, depending on personal preference. The batter is made with simple ingredients that are easy to find in any grocery store, and can be whipped up in a matter of minutes. Once cooked, the waffles are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making them a delightful breakfast treat.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and vanilla sugar.
2.	In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
3.	In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole milk, and melted butter.
4.	Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and whisk until smooth.
5.	Fold in the beaten egg whites and wheat germ, if using.
6.	Heat a waffle iron and coat with cooking spray. Pour batter into the waffle iron, following the manufacturer's instructions.
7.	Cook until golden brown and crispy.
8.	Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as jam, berries, or whipped cream.

PROS

Norwegian waffles are a delicious breakfast treat that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
They are also versatile and can be topped with a variety of toppings.

The wheat germ adds a nice texture to the waffles and is rich in nutrients, such as fiber, protein, and B vitamins.

CONS

These waffles are high in calories and sugar, and should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

The batter can be time-consuming to prepare and cook, especially if making a large batch.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While Norwegian waffles are not the healthiest breakfast option, they can be made healthier by using whole wheat flour and reducing the amount of sugar used in the batter. The wheat germ is a good source of fiber, protein, and B vitamins, which are essential for maintaining good health. Adding fresh fruit as a topping will also increase the nutrient content of the meal.
