The Icelandic waffle is a popular and delicious treat that has a long history and a special place in the hearts of Icelandic people. The waffle is thin, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and made up of six heart-shaped sections. It is usually served with whipped cream and jam, often made from rhubarb, one of the very few fruits that grows in abundance in Iceland. The waffle is a common sight in coffee houses, bakeries, and even street food stalls, and it is enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.
The recipe for the Icelandic waffle is simple and easy to make, using basic ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, baking powder, and salt. Some variations may include lemon juice, vanilla extract, or other flavorings. The batter is poured onto a hot waffle iron and baked until golden. The waffles are then served hot or cold, with toppings of your choice. Some people also like to add syrup, chocolate sauce, ice cream, or fresh fruits to their waffles.
The Icelandic waffle is more than just a snack, it is a symbol of the Icelandic hospitality and warmth. It is a way of welcoming guests, sharing stories, and celebrating life. It is a part of the Icelandic identity and its heritage. It is a taste of Iceland that you will never forget.
So, if you are planning to visit Iceland, don’t miss the chance to try our authentic Icelandic waffles. We are sure you won’t regret it.
