My mom has had a special waffle iron and its original instructional and recipe book for more than 20 years. Every year around the holidays, she makes sour cream waffles (yes, sour cream!) and the whole family gathers around for this two-decade-long tradition.
This year, she was all set up to make us her special waffles when disaster struck: the recipe book was missing! We turned the house upside down looking for the booklet. When we found it 30 minutes later, we vowed to never lose the recipe again. So here it is, forever immortalized on the Soap Queen Blog — Vitantonio Sour Cream Waffles! These waffles are super easy to make, and the sour cream keeps them moist and decadent. Delicious!
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup buttermilk
1.5 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
ONE: Combine the eggs, sour cream, butter (cooled) and buttermilk in large bowl and beat with a hand-mixer until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
TWO: Slowly add dry ingredients to the liquid mixture and stir until well blended. Batter will be slightly lumpy, but makes the most delicious waffles!
THREE: Put a big dab of the batter in the middle of a warmed, greased waffle iron, and bake until fully cooked.
FOUR: Serve with jam, maple syrup or gjetost (Norwegian goat cheese). Yummy!
Hi, I am from Norway and make plenty of waffles, but i wonder where is your sugar? To a recipe like this you can add up to 0.42 cups sugar. Another suggestion for a more crisp finish is to substitute some milk with 0.6-0.75 cups full cream (that you make whipped cream from). Also it is suggested to mix the flour and milk and let set for a few hrs (min 1 hr), or even a whole day before mixing in other ingredients. If you add sugar you can mix the egg and sugar to eggnog before mixing in the rest which will also give nice waffles. Gjeitost or strawberry jam with sour cream is the most common here in Norway.
For a healthier option you can use whole flour or add some oatmeal.
Keep enjoying!
Hi Helene!
Thanks so much for your great suggestions! This recipe is made without sugar, but you can definitely add that for some sweetness. 🙂

YUM! I tried these for breakfast this morning. They’re much quicker to make than my usual recipe. I had to substitute milk kefir for the buttermilk, but I’ll be making these again!
Hi Amy!
We are so happy that you were able to try this recipe out! We totally agree with you that these are absolutely delicious. Thank you for the feedback! =)

This is only the second place I have ever seen reference to Gjetost. The first was at the yes can you believe it “Cheese Queen” website. I had never heard of it until reading different articles while learning to make home made cheese. Now I am learning Soap making from another Queen and I see the second reference to this cheese. I guess I may have to try to make some.
I love love love gjetost and yes, it’s an acquired taste but I have been eating it since I was a small child and I ate it with both of my kids when they were in my belly so now, Jamisen loves it! =) He loved it from his first taste … speaking of which, I wonder if I have any right now in my fridge? It would be so yummy!
